I\u2019m recommending this series not only because of how comprehensively and detailed these profiles are (it really is rather good), but also because of the choice of the people they have so far chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first episode is on Paul Dacre. Although many would be outraged at his views and the agenda he set whilst Editor at the Daily Mail, there\u2019s no denying the power and influence his paper was able to generate within politics and our society.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/createthefuture\"><strong>Create The Future<\/strong><\/a><strong> &#8211; <\/strong>A podcast for those who want to get into engineering, this podcast featuring new hosts Roma Agrawal and George Imafidon has lots of conversations about the difference that this industry can bring to society. Upcoming episodes will look at the future of design, sustainable neighbourhoods, solar panels, and design. There\u2019s also an episode on the future of baking, featuring an interview with the engineering <em>Bake Off <\/em>wunderkid that is Andrew Smyth (he was the one that made a mechanised cog pie and made a bread basket that he later put on his head.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/wheretogo\"><strong>Where To Go<\/strong><\/a><strong> &#8211; <\/strong>Returning this week for its fourth series, this fortnightly podcast presented by James Atkinson and Lucy Richards from the travel company DK Eyewitness features helpful recommendations on a number of global destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first episode is a deep dive into Sicily, which of course was the setting for The White Lotus, where they are joined by resident and expert Ros Belford, who has lived there for more than a decade. Upcoming episodes include Thessaloniki, Mexico, New Zealand, and a wildlife travel special for the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/1671879772\"><strong>The Rabbit Hole Detectives<\/strong><\/a><strong> &#8211; <\/strong>Our last podcast recommendation this week is fronted by Charles Spencer, Dr. Cat Jarman, and the Reverend Richard Coles. Celebrating those rabbit holes you go into late at night on Wikipedia when you\u2019ve found something relatively interesting, in each episode, they are tasked with finding out all they can on a particular subject and then coming up with as many facts or stories as they can about them. The joy of this podcast is that there are many occasions where the conversations go down an entirely different rabbit hole of conversation than the one intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks so much for reading (and listening).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll be back next Sunday with another podcast newsletter, subscribe below!<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to The Great British Podcast Newsletter.
