The #SundayPodcastRec

This is where I recommend a podcast I’ve been listening to, give a bit of a summary and say why I like it.

Podcast: #BadAdviceWednesdays 
Host: The Speech Prof
Comes out: weekly
Duration: approx. 30-60 minutes
Subject: Various

The official about:
Comedic interviews where The Speech Prof (Chesko) and a rotating guest talk comedy and kindness while giving purposefully bad advice to questions from his followers that they submit without context.

My thoughts:
I really like the host on Instagram and the same fun energy carries over into the podcast. The guests are varied and give interesting takes on the subjects, though sometimes they both struggle to stick to the “bad advice” theme and actually give good advice.

It’s light hearted, a good filler podcast, and an awesome introduction to some interesting people.

My rating:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Podcast: #BadManors
Host: Tom Houghton
Comes out: weekly
Duration: approx. 30 minutes
Subject: British stately homes

The official about:
UK comedian The Honourable Tom Houghton takes us inside Britain's stately homes, castles and country estates to hear about their local histories, the scandals, the mysteries and occasionally the odd ghost that makes up the fabric of what they are. These are the tales you won't hear in the guidebook.

My thoughts:
This is an easy listen because Tom is genuine and down to earth, getting into history the same way most people do, by laughing at the absurdity of it, and his reactions are priceless. We are introduced to the building, it’s history and occupants in a way that is relatable, fascinating and not complicated.

Tom injects humour into even the darkest of subjects, and it gets pretty dark! The stories of ghosts, torture and battle get a comedy treatment that retains their horror while giving us a giggle.

This is where I recommend a podcast I’ve been listening to, give a bit of a summary and say why I like it.

Podcast: #YoureDeadToMe
Host: Greg Jenner
Comes out: weekly
Duration: approx. 30 minutes
Subject: History

The official about:
The comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Greg Jenner brings together the best names in comedy and history to learn and laugh about the past.

My thoughts:
If you were a fan of Horrible Histories, you’ll know Greg Jenner’s work. He is a very smart, very funny bloke. He has a knack for getting the most out of a subject, with the help of the equally smart and funny guests.

I really like that it starts with the premise that you might know a bit about the subject and then explains it in an engaging way. It ends with the comedian (and the listener) being put to the test.

You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, you’ll discover comedians you hadn’t heard of, and you’ll want to know more about the subjects.
