Nellers Feb 2023 4:50pm, 26 Feb 2023 40,342 posts	0 Nellers I keep saying the same thing, Neil_E_There, but then something else crosses my orbit and the backlog grows! I did get the backlog down to 59 a week or so ago but I'm back up to 70 again now!
larkim Mar 2023 11:43am, 2 Mar 2023 20,409 posts	0 larkim Not seen it mentioned before, but Tim Harford's Cautionary Tales is my current feed-obsession. Racing through the back catalogue. He's a bit of a family favourite anyway via More or Less and 50 Things... etc First half of first series has stilted openings, but after that the "pandemic" episodes are good to listen to with the benefit of 2 years of hindsight.

paul the builder Mar 2023 1:48pm, 2 Mar 2023 7,418 posts	0 paul the builder Maybe I'm not very well read, or on history at least, but I very much liked (and didn't know almost all of) the Scott v. Amundsen race to the South Pole series of episodes that were within the Cautionary Tales feed last summer.

jacdaw Mar 2023 7:28pm, 7 Mar 2023 3,826 posts	0 jacdaw I'm getting mildly obsessed by The War on Cars. Ep. 99 Car Brain, is really worth a listen. thewaroncars.org
suus Mar 2023 10:37am, 11 Mar 2023 4,289 posts	0 suus For those of you who have never got over the end of the Simon Mayo Confessions podcast [just me?], I’ve found a 5 live alternative called Shame Well. I’ve had a good giggle listening to some of them…
GregP Mar 2023 10:41am, 11 Mar 2023 144,028 posts	0 GregP Kermode really annoyed me again this week. The hatchet job on Scream VI, like the one on Thor L&T last year, felt like forced gurning for show - a tired old touring band lazily going through the greatest hits. Mayo looked somewhere between bored and embarrassed if you check the YouTube version.
Neil_E_There Mar 2023 9:58pm, 26 Mar 2023 2,101 posts	0 Neil_E_There Listened to Who Killed Aldrich Kemp? on the BBC Limelight feed today. 2nd Series and I very much enjoyed this one.
Neil_E_There Mar 2023 9:43pm, 29 Mar 2023 2,129 posts	0 Neil_E_There Listened to the last episode of Click/Digital Planet today. Wasn't one of my top listens but sad to see it go all the same.
