Welcome to The Great British Podcast Newsletter. <\/em>Hope you\u2019re doing well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we kick off with today\u2019s newsletter, I thought to let you know that Great British Podcasts has now got its own Instagram. You can follow us on @GreatBritPods<\/a>. If Twitter is more of your bag, we\u2019ve got an account there too. It is also called  @GreatBritPods<\/a> (fancy that.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with some podcasts that explore social media. Tagged<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>is a new social media thriller, starring Jessica Plummer and Ben Hardy, where two travel influencers get wrapped up in a double homicide whilst on their honeymoon. It then turns out that it might have something to do with a couple who mysteriously look like them, a couple who have been mysteriously posting very similar content on their own account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New Gurus<\/strong><\/a>, a podcast that looks into how the internet has become dominated by crypto experts and wellness influencers, has just released a bonus episode<\/strong><\/a>. PoliticsJOE<\/strong><\/a>, who are known for viral videos looking at politics, are about to launch their own podcast called Pubcast. The Trawl<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>podcast, by Jemma Forte and Marina Purkiss, features the two of them going through social media to look for the sharpest takes on the political world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
