There’s Lauren Laverne on the Intimacy Of Radio, Gretchen Rubin on New Year, Same Old You, Anne Boden on How To Start Your Own Bank, and Rae Earl on Bullying and Body Image, among many other highlights. There is so much good stuff here — just jump in.

The Sporkful

www.sporkful.com The tagline here is ‘It’s not for foodies, it’s for eaters’, and the show’s descriptio­n is: “we obsess about food to learn more about people”, which is probably as good an organising principle as any.

Presented by Dan Pashman, award-winning creator and host of the Cooking Channel’s You’re Eating It Wrong series, The

Sporkful delves from the light-hearted — writer June Thomas sharing memories of fish and chips, along with strategies for eating in front of the TV — to the deeply serious, including one woman’s journey through a year of eating disorder recovery.

There are informativ­e chats about food myths and the best way to make risotto, as well as Yotam Ottolenghi on what happens when a perfection­ist cooks with his kids and why the best way to eat less sugar is to bake a cake.
