It features interviews with fans, collectors and experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is something so captivating about the illustrations,\u201d says Collins in the introductory episode. \u201cThey are unforgettable, both familiar and strange at the same time. They trigger the imagination and have stayed with me for years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/1673771330\"><strong>How To Buy A Football Club<\/strong><\/a><strong> &#8211; <\/strong>In a week where the Glazer family may relinquish control of Manchester United, the BBC has launched a new podcast looking at the relationship between the sport and money.

Their hesitancy with media interviews has meant that working out their future plans can be difficult to predict. Then there\u2019s the fact that, according to guest Chris Blackhurst, they treat the place like a cash machine: \u201cThey are the only owners to take a dividend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/sextedmyboss\"><strong>Help I Sexted My Boss &#8211;<\/strong><\/a> This advice podcast hosted by Radio 1\u2019s Jordan North and etiquette expert William Hanson has been out for a fair while now, but has been consistently at the top of the podcasting charts because of the hilarious contributions sent in from listeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as each episode is also filmed, moments from the show frequently go viral on TikTok.
