My favourite is The Moth Podcast, true stories told live in front of an audience. All sorts of stories from a variety of people, some funny, some moving and almost always unpredictable.

A History of the World in 100 Objects has been recommended to me but I haven't listened yet.

Love LBC Steve Allen?s in conversations, with some well known stars that have been in show business a long time and what there thoughts and life experiences are. I recently was listening to Steve Allen speaking to Gladys?s Knight and writer Bob Crier very interesting people.

Hello,


These are all cool podcasts.


Here is a list of very cool podcasts that I have discovered over the last few years:


Stuff you should know - Two funny guys discuss and educated on something different every week.

Freakonomics radio - Another really interesting duo make funny and educational stuff.

Hamish and Andy - 2 of the best radio DJ's I've ever heard. Australian radio. They're near the end now but their catalogue should be on there.

Search for "Meet the filmmaker" and you should a whole bunch of great interviews with directors and writers.

SModcast: Kevin Smith and his producer Scott Mosier. Funny if you like that sort of humour.

Look up "John Lennon: The Rolling Stone interview"

And Answer me this is pretty funny too.


I generally just get sport ones but I'm guessing you're not too interested in that.


Hope it helps.

Thanks for this, I've subscribed since you posted it. Recommended.

In fact I never bothered with podcasts at all before this thread but new phone plus this means I now get it.


The Guardian's Football Weekly is good also.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
