For anyone who likes disturbing fiction, I cannot stop raving about The Hotel on BBC Sounds.

Oh this is so good. I love it.

Love a wellness trashing too! I am on it. I listened to The Gateway (Teal Swan) and The Orgasm Cult. Both about cults/self help etc, both predictably depressing. The Gateway had excellent crossover with the satanic panic memory stuff, which pleased me.

Have I mentioned Brainwashed on here? It's about the mental health services involvment with mind control and MK Ultra, again, fascinating but so sad and disturbing.

I’ve just listened to Sandi Toksvig’S podcasts on bbc sounds. The Hygge ones. Really nice.

I have been listening to Hunting Ghislaine which is a bit bleak but interesting. Also, Paper Ghosts about girls who went missing from the same part of Connecticut in the 70s, the narrator is a bit annoying but its quite interesting.

[Derek Nimmo]

"Last Seen", about the $500m art theft from the Isabella Gardner museum. A very deep dive into the whys and wherefores - a couple of episodes in, and enjoying it.

Thanks chaps, I was just coming to try and mine this thread for suggestions again.

I'm trying to find the new Alan Partridge podcast but it's only availalbe on Audible I think.

I'm going to try Drunk Women Solving Crime next.

I’ve been enjoying Fortunately by Fi and Jane on bbc sounds.

They are - but are they really in a log cabin?

[Luna]

I doubt it!

I like the Sandi Toksvig ones, and Fortunately too. I basically like older women being a bit soothing and sarcastic at the same time.

[Lily]

I figure the Poet Laureate isn't really in his shed, either?!

Does anybody here listen to Poog? It’s so funny, I really recommend it. I listen to podcasts at night, and poor S often hears the sinister sound of me laughing to myself in the dead of night because of this one.

It’s two comedians addressing the whole wellness thing while also trying to get free stuff. It’s probably best to listen to the episodes in order because it develops over time. No need though.

Thanks for mentioning this, it's brilliant

[Ella77]

Yay, it’s SO good, isn’t it ?

I just listened to their new year episode where they talk a about someone being in multiple mutilating accidents, and the ICU nurse putting a huge glittery bow on their head and everyone screaming GORGEOUS

[Ella77]

“and their face is basically a thumb, and”. God, you’ve set me off again .

For Scientology fans the latest episode of Louis Theroux’s podcast is an interview with Leah Remini, and it’s pretty good.

[Ruby]

Oh really? I am a big Scientology "fan".
