I’m after a new podcast to listen to. So what are your top 5? They don’t have to be sport related.

Mine:

1. The Elis & John show
2. Athletico Mince
3. Quickly Kevin 90’s Football
4. Undr The Cosh
5. Second Tier

My current 5 listens are:-

High Performance - depends on guest

Diary of a CEO - depends on guest

The Travel Diaries - celebrities give their fav and worst places to travel. Some great guests.

Redefining Energy (show about energy market. I listen for work purposes).

Popcorn Junkies (movie reviews)

Peter Crouch podcast is good listen.
 
In no particular order

The Rest is Politics

Kermode and Mayo’s take (movie reviews)

Some Dare Call it Conspiracy - ex conspiracists who escaped the rabbit hole debunk conspiracy theories comprehensively and look at how/why they came about in the first place.

The News Agents - Emily Maitliss, Jon Sopel (and Lewis Goodall) discuss the days politics news.

Uncanny - people interviewed about their ghost/paranormal experiences
 
Current favourites are "A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs", "Frank Skinner's Poetry Podcast" and "The Alexei Sayle Podcast". All hugely more interesting and engaging than their titles suggest and presented by highly intelligent people.
 
Adam Buxton. A different interview every week with all sorts of people (mainly musicians / actors / comedians / writers, but also the occasional scientist / politician / humanitarian thrown in for good measure.). Usually very funny, sometimes very moving but always interesting. I highly recommend it.
 
1. QKWHS
2. Guardian Football Weekly
3. Boro Breakdown
4. The Rest is History
5. Desert Island Discs

I do quite like Undr the Cosh but don’t listen religiously.
 
In no particular order

Smith and Sniff - Cars and nonsense with Johnny Smith and Richard Porter
The Infinite Monkey Cage - Science with Robin Ince and Brian Cox
The Curious Cases of Rutherford and Fry - Science with Adam Rutherford and Hannah Fry
Kermode and Mayo's Take - Movies and TV with Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo (though recently I've not been bothering its not as good as when it was on the BBC

The Trawl
The Rest is Entertainment
Newscast

I got really into Cliches for a while but found it’s novelty factor wore off a little.
 
I've never been a podcast fan, but the two I've listened to intently are the John Ronson "Things Fall Apart" on BBC Sounds, and the Richard Osman / Marina Hyde "The Rest is Entertainment".
 
I’ve just started Simon Jordan’s podcast, Up Front, he gets some really good guests on and as usual isn’t afraid to ask the questions you want him to, often pulls are a thread with them aswell. I’d say it’s worth a go
 
The Adam Buxton Podcast
Off Menu
Sha*gged Married Annoyed
Frank Skinner Show
Parenting Hell

I know you said 5 but I also regularly listen to:-
The Jason Manford Show
Chatabix
 
I only pay money to subscibe to 1 and thats Athletico Parsnips

For the stuff with adverts I go for the Holland Boys with WHWOMYT and TRIH - The recent multi episodes on the Nazis 34-38 & Convoy HX231 were literally stop doing anything else and just listen stuff.

Football is the Boro Breakdown & Not The Top 20

The News Agents & Tortoise for Current Affairs

Do you count stuff from the BBC like Sneakernomics & Life Scientific?
