TOP OF THE PODS

You Must Remember This

Made by former film critic Karina Longworth (right), this digs into Hollywood’s murky history to bring juicy stories to the masses. We recommend starting with the Charles Manson mini-series, exploring not just the murders themselves, but the music and movie scene surrounding them.

Spark

Not to be confused with Spark Science, Brit podcast Spark (True Stories) shares the life-changing experiences of everyday people. In Crossing The Line, Maria explains how stumbling across a dead body helped her turn her life around.

The Hilarious World Of Depression

While depression doesn’t sound like the funniest topic for a podcast, this show nails it. It features interviews with creative, funny people (the one with Russell Brand is brilliant) who have dealt with mental illness. Hosted by radio presenter John Moe, it aims to help people feel less alone and reduce the stigma.
