Three Podcasts You Need To Be Listening Too!

I love a podcast, as I write this I’m listening to one! I spend most of my free time either reading, or listening to a podcast. Phone in the pocket, headphones on and bash out all the house work. I also prefer a podcast when I go for a run rather than music, I just find that my times are better when I’m listening to a podcast rather than music which seems wrong but hey ho.

My only problem is, all these podcasts I’m mentioning are hilarious. This often ends in me laughing to myself while I’m out running and making myself look insane! I listen to all of these through Spotify, I have a subscription but you can listen to them all for free on there too.

The Secret World Of Slimming Clubs

Now, I’ve never attended a slimming club, but I have however been on a ‘diet’ and I know the general rules of Slimming World, and that’s why I’ve never been! This is not a diet podcast. Its basically three women who attend slimming clubs (or did pre lockdowns) trying to lose weight by not following any diet. They talk on end about how many syns are in chicken skewers and their love for quark, as well as the benefits of fennel tea and a hot bath. If you’ve ever laughed at how absurd it is that a ‘low calorie’ ready meal is more calories than if you just cooked it fresh yourself, or questioned if you’ve gained weight from doing too much exercise, this is one for you.

I Secretly Recorded My Boyfriend

This is one I found during lockdown, and I binge listened to just under 100 episodes in about a month. Its from the same people as the slimming club one, so obviously its also hilarious. If you need a pick me up from a Brummy postman passionately questioning the contents of a fictional garage on a TV soap, this is certain to make you laugh out loud. I have actually stopped listening to this one when I’m out and about, you have been warned, don’t listen to this podcast when your on the bus. You will get funny looks, and lets be honest here, you can’t disguise your laugh with a cough in the current climate. With titles like ‘It’s impossible for me to get a finger stuck‘ and ‘I wont ever forget the beef jerky‘, if you listen to just one podcast from this list, make it this one.

Middle Please Umpire

A specialist one, yes, but if you know anything about cricket this one is a hoot! Hosted by Mark Wood, Geordie and England fast bowler alongside Miles Jupp, comedian and also Archie from Balamory, what a team! I know I’m bias because I am part of the cricket wife club, but I have very little understanding of the technicalities of the game. Its more funny because of the dynamic between Mark, a comical character without even trying and Miles, who I cant take seriously at the best of times. They have star guests every week who get quizzed about all the important cricket topics such as ‘favourite TV owl‘, ‘if a duck flew at you, do you duck or fight back‘ and ‘Miles is stealing apples from your garden, what do you yell at him?‘. All the things we want to know about the England cricket captain, am I right?
