I listen to a lot of the BBC Sounds podcasts... possibly because I'm boring and British.

My favourites are:

  • In Our Time: 3 academics and a host discuss an academic topic in deep detail. Science, humanities, arts, etc. Some episodes are more interesting than others but depends on your personal interests. I like the philosophy ones because I studied it at university.
  • The Today Podcast: UK news and current affairs.
  • Screenshot: Film critics Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode discuss the history of cinema by picking a theme or motif to explore per episode, i.e. "Mermaids" was a recent one.
  • The Digital Human: explores technology trends and how they affect individuals and society.
