Yet I have been delightfully surprised by their new series, which features guests talking about quite unbelievable situations. There\u2019s a drug smuggler who has served time in one of Europe\u2019s most dangerous prisons, a former terrorist who ended up becoming a British spy. A particular highlight for me is an interview with a former drug officer who worked undercover for 14 years, and was involved in some high-stakes situations in order to secure a conviction. Yet, he now believes that the war on drugs is failing and that drugs should be legalised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A part of it was a realisation that shutting down and arresting networks only interrupted supply in the local area for only two hours and the void was immediately supplied by a rival. \u201cSeven months of work, 96 people arrested, being constantly in fear of my life, being assaulted,\u201d Neil Woods says to host Ben Powell-Jones. \u201cAnd all of those things that I went through, to interrupt the supply for two hours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/1654059310\"><strong>Where There\u2019s A Will, There\u2019s A Wake<\/strong><\/a><strong> &#8211; <\/strong>A popular format in audio features guests picking who would perform in an imaginary music festival, or the records they would choose if they were abandoned on a desert island. So, in a delightful twist to the format, the icon Kathy Burke has now launched her new podcast where she asks guests about how they would plan their own death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yep! It\u2019s dark, but you wouldn\u2019t have it any other way. Guests in this new series, which includes everyone from Diane Morgan (aka. Philomena Cunk) to Dawn French, are asked how they would like to die, who they would invite to their funeral and who would get what in their will. Probably best to say that what they say about their wills is not legally binding. New episodes are out soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/1649155385\"><strong>My Life<\/strong><\/a><strong> &#8211; <\/strong>A great idea by the children\u2019s radio station Fun Kids, who have passed the microphone to their listeners to document their own lives for their new podcast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each episode consists of a different contributor somewhere in the country talking about their hobbies, their upbringing, their views and hopes for the future. It\u2019s a great way to get younger listeners interested and engaged with the podcasting world, by giving them the chance and opportunity to do it themselves. And heck, the world of media always looks and feels so much bigger when they\u2019re younger too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/1593252777\"><strong>At Your Leisure with Sue Perkins<\/strong><\/a><strong> &#8211; <\/strong>Normally I fret in fear when a celebrity hosts an open ended conversational podcast series, simply because it is an <em>art <\/em>to keep the listener engaged with the celeb hosts and guest end up talking about for the entire hour. But Sue Perkins makes it look and feel <em>so easy<\/em> and the hour completely flies by. Whilst this new series is now in partnership with Lego, it doesn\u2019t feel too much like an advert. There are three episodes so far Giovanna Fletcher, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Tom Grennan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s all from the newsletter this week.
