There have been many podcasts covering the sad news of The Queen\u2019s death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newscast<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>have been releasing daily episodes featuring the latest tributes and reactions. Meanwhile Maitlis, Sopel and Goodall on The News Agents<\/strong><\/a> did a special episode discussing the ascension of King Charles III and how the Royal Family will look and feel different in the years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s surprising how often we use this phrase \u2018end of an era\u2019 to talk about really insubstantial, insignificant things,\u201d said Maitlis. \u201cThis moment is the end of an actual era. It\u2019s the age of the Elizabethan age. The reign of Queen Elizabeth II. And suddenly it feels enormous. She has been a monarch of stability and continuity in all our lives. And she is probably the most famous woman in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for podcasts that look back at the life of HM The Queen, Short History Of\u2026<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>released a two-part episode earlier in the year looking back at the events that have shaped her life and how British society changed under her reign and in Dan Snow\u2019s History Hit<\/strong><\/a> he looks at her early life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other news\u2026 The Mid\u2022Point with Gabby Logan<\/strong><\/a>, a podcast where the sports broadcaster talks with a guest about the unexpected joys and benefits getting older can bring, had a special episode where Gabby spoke to her husband Kenny Logan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February this year Kenny learnt that he had prostate cancer, the most popular cancer for males in the UK. There\u2019s currently 52,000 new cases in the UK every year (that\u2019s more than 100 a day.) In the episode Gabby speaks to Declan Cahill, Kenny\u2019s consultant, who talked about common misconceptions about prostate cancer (fact: symptoms are not usually that obvious until a late stage, so it is always worth testing.) And as this month is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, listeners are encouraged to check your risk by heading to the Prostate Cancer UK website<\/a> and you can find out more about a Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test on the NHS website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
