    A quick plea to the Totally Football Show and The Football Ramble guys... For me, Clive, you're releasing too many shows now, I can't keep up with them and, as a consequence, I'm probably going to stop listening to them entirely as I just don't have the time and no one needs that much football.

    Footbally Weekly is likely to be the only one I'll stay with because there's only two shows per week.

      Haven't watched it yet, but some of you might be interested in this interview with Randall Munroe (he of xkcd.com) from the TwiT podcast stable.

          Been listening to Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History of late. Couple of recent highlights:

          1. Malcolm defends cultural appropriation (and Pat Boone)
          2. Interview with Oprah Winfrey on his book, Talking to Strangers

            JV may or may not be interested to know that the most recent How Did This Get Played podcast covers the Friday the 13th NES game.

              With many podcasts becoming somewhat slick, approachable and middle of the road (though I have no essential objection to that sometimes) I’ve been really glued to Hidden Histories Of The Northern Ireland Troubles, very detailed one to one inferviews. Just as social history (including football and music, stuff we all connect with) it’s completely fascinating.

                I've started listening to The Lebanese Politics Podcast which is very interesting for me, somone who knows very little about Lebanese politics.
                Also, ALAB Series a legal podcast from some of the people behind Mic Dicta.

                  'Nothing Is Real' is the best Beatles podcast of which I am aware:

                    I'm enjoying Jeremy Gilbert's appearances on a series of Novara Media podcasts labelled ACFM, where AC can refer either to Acid Corbynism or Acid Communism. The ACFM podcasts themselves are via Novara, but Gilbert provides a helpful introduction to them on this episode of the Politics Theory Other podcast. https://soundcloud.com/poltheoryothe...jeremy-gilbert

                      Thanks for this; listening to one now and very entertaining.

                        I'd like to recommend the podcast 'Classical Fix', from Radio 3. It's hosted by Clemmie Burton-Hill, who selects 6 classical pieces for each week's guest, who then discusses whether they enjoyed it or not while having a conversation around their life. It's much, much better than it sounds, and Burton-Hill is a very engaging presenter. Available through the usual podcast shops.

                          Also from Radio 3. 'Slow Radio' - a beautifully eclectic series, which I think would tick a fair few OTFers' boxes. New Yorker review below.

                          Sarah Larson on the BBC Radio 3 series “Slow Radio,” which features luscious sounds from the natural world alongside human voices that offer the modest enlightenment of public radio.

                              I've actually started listening to podcasts lately, largely because Spotify have finally got a decent number of them on there. Listened to the whole of The History of Rome and have so far reached the end of the French Revolution in Revolutions, and I've also started The History of English Podcast after seeing Mike Duncan (who does HOR and Rev) recommend it on Twitter. it is excellent, and all of this is good research / food for thought for my next project (see Books for a clue, if you're curious).
                              And tonight, while doing my nightly tidying of the kitchen and cleaning of the cat's litter tray, I listened to this week's episode of Revolutions. It is in a very small way a slightly emotional thought. I've caught up. I feel in many ways like I've followed Mike Duncan's whole path through podcasting and life while doing so as well as just the stories he tells on the shows, and I've got a slightly realer sense now of just why people who come down here and meet up with me for a drink, having got to 'know' me by listening to Hand Of Pod, often want to ask how the cat is or some other mundane detail of my life in Argentina, rather than just talking football non-stop.

                              It does mean I've got to wait until (I think?) next Monday for the next episode, mind.

                              Now time to really start hammering History of English, and I might get cracking on History of Byzantium too.

                                  Delighted you're enjoying HOEP, Sam, hours of joy awaits you. He has a Patreon page now (I mention that as you might only be up to 2016 or something). I think my other favourite linguistics podcast is Lexicon Valley, when it first started with two presenters; these days it has one presenter and it's not nearly so good.

                                    Yes, I found the Patreon page because a while back, when thinking about a project of my own, I decided to see how much various history podcasts bring in through Patreon. It's fair to say he's doing better than I am with the HOP one. I'd be over the moon with one twentieth of that. Next episode I listen to will be #25, which Spotify tells me is from August 2013. The planned hammering of it has been derailed slightly by how much I'm enjoying Rex Factor now.

                                            Any recommendations for a daily news podcast? I'm being lazy here and not reading the 12 pages of posts.

                                            I used to listen to Today on Radio Four but it's shift to the right makes it unlistenable now.

                                            I like Channel Four news if that helps in your recommendations. Do they do a podcast?

                                                Timeghost history on youtube is very good. I am loving the between the wars series and filled a major gap in my knowledge of the events leading up to WWII

                                                    I'm participating as interviewee in a forthcoming episode of the Cold War Conversations podcast! As well as geopolitical chat they do coasters and stickers!



                                                    In fact I'm the second OTFer to be interviewed on Cold War Conversations, as formerly-of-this-parish Dalliance appeared on a past episode talking about eastern European football in the Cold War period. I'm going to be discussing a trip to Albania.
