Starting with some news:\u00a0BBC Radio 5 Live<\/a>\u00a0have announced that the Rachael Bland New Podcast Award is back for a second year, awarding a pilot series for the most distinctive and purposeful podcast idea. The award celebrates the life of one of their presenters\u00a0Rachael Bland<\/strong>, who helped create the podcast\u00a0You Me and the Big C<\/a>,\u00a0known for it’s frank and honest discussions on people\u2019s experiences with cancer.

The winner of the award will go to an idea that feels personal and will bring people together. Last year\u2019s winner was\u00a0Hooked: The Unexpected Addicts<\/a>,\u00a0a compelling podcast series about what addiction and recovery is really like.\u00a0

To enter your idea, just head to the\u00a0website<\/a>.\u00a0You have until the 4th February to apply.
Here are some podcasts worth listening to this week…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

GABA<\/a>\u00a0– What makes podcasting such a special medium is how personal it feels. A lot of the time you\u2019re listening to a show directly through your headphones, so if a lot of attention is given to each moment and the particular way it sounds, you\u2019ll quickly notice. This podcast by\u00a0Adam Martin<\/strong>\u00a0is a perfect example of this, each episode weaving in soundscapes, music and film clips and thought provoking spoken word. The ambition? To make you tune out of the ever maddening and increasing velocity of modern life. A new series is out next month, but there\u2019s a series worth of episodes so far. This podcast is certainly one to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dementia and Me<\/a>\u00a0– By 2025, more than one million people are expected to be living with dementia. This podcast, by BBC Radio Sheffield, speaks to people who are living with dementia, or people who are close to someone who has it. The aim is to help drive a national conversation about dementia, especially with younger people, and to help remove some of the stigmas and assumptions associated with it. In the second episode, hosts\u00a0Grace<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Peggy\u00a0<\/strong>speaks to\u00a0Vicky McClure<\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0Line of Duty, who recently hosted a documentary about how music can help people with dementia: \u201cYou\u2019ve got to meet these people,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>says McClure. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to be in the room with them. You can\u2019t just assume you will understand what it is like.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stephen Fry\u2019s 7 Deadly Sins<\/a>\u00a0– I\u2019m not going to lie, a draw to this podcast is just the chance to hear\u00a0Stephen Fry\u00a0<\/strong>talking to you for half an hour. In this new series, Fry looks at one of the Seven Deadly Sins in turn, and tries to make sense of it in a modern context. Pride, for example, is judged to be one of the worst sins historically, yet pride and being proud of oneself is mostly considered to be a good thing in 2020. Being proud of your country, for example. Or visiting a gay pride march. Do we need a new word to describe it as a sin? Or is there more than meets the eye?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cheerful Book Club<\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0Ed Miliband\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Geoff Lloyd\u00a0<\/strong>are well known for their podcast about modern ideas. And now after a successful pilot, they have launched their own spin-off book club series. Starting this week, authors such as the journalist\u00a0Michael Lewis<\/strong>, the economist\u00a0Mariana Mazzucato<\/strong>\u00a0and tech analyst\u00a0Rana Foroohar<\/strong>\u00a0will join them to discuss the themes and ideas stemming from their work. The reason for the original podcast\u2019s success? Not just the intelligent conversation, but the breezy and authentic feel to it all. Ed comes across so well so naturally, you wonder why it wasn\u2019t the same way when he was Labour leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s some podcasts with big guests over the last week…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give Me Strength<\/a>\u00a0a podcast about mental and physical strength, this week interviews Olympic boxing champion\u00a0Nicola Adams<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Show Me The Way<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0a podcast about successful women sharing stories about how they got to where they are, this week features\u00a0Lucy Kerbel<\/strong>. She\u2019s the founder of Tonic, which tries to bring equality to the arts:\u00a0\u201cI wanted to disrupt expectations at the get-go that drama is automatically about men’s stories and men’s voices,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\u00a0Tom Watson<\/strong>\u00a0is the first guest in the new series of\u00a0Full Disclosure with James O\u2019Brien<\/a>, which feels timely given the Labour leadership contest is on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve got a big guest on your podcast that you think we should know,\u00a0let us know<\/a>\u00a0and it might appear in a future newsletter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other stuff…..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thought you should know too:\u00a0Bloomberg<\/a>\u00a0is reporting that Apple is launching their own original podcasts tied to shows you can find their service AppleTV+, the same week\u00a0Netflix<\/a>\u00a0launched their own British podcast series featuring\u00a0interviews with cast from their own shows.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst such TV podcasts are not new (the BBC have had their own called\u00a0Obsessed With\u2026<\/a>\u00a0strand for nearly a year), the challenge is to bring in listeners who want to find out more about their favourite shows, without it all sounding corporate and dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One\u00a0Great British Podcast Newsletter reader will win \u00a3200 worth of Amazon vouchers. To enter, just head to the website and follow\u00a0the instructions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s all for this week. Have a great one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
