What you appreciate is how something so big came from a single idea five decades ago.

All you need to do is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/greatbritishpodcasts.com\/guests\">fill in this form<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are our podcast recommendations for this week:<\/strong><br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/1519052703\">Innermost<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; The Guardian&nbsp;has launched an interesting storytelling podcast about the lockdown, with personal stories on corona related topics you may not have heard before. There\u2019s a story about what it is like to watch a family funeral on a laptop (<em>\u201call of us, as a family wrote to each other immediately afterwards feeling that we had been completely and emotionally knocked sideways\u201d<\/em>) and how lockdown affects someone with schizophrenia, all told to journalist&nbsp;<strong>Leah Green<\/strong>. Several stories are told at once, flicking between each one constantly. It feels a bit odd at first, but it is actually a draw of the podcast itself. It lets your mind wander about the subject just that little bit more between each chapter.<br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/2YissX4xRk9cU2r10620ol?si=DWi3AOnQTFekmvhdvLod_A\">Who We Be TALKS<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;There is such great chemistry between the hosts of this Spotify podcast celebrating black music and culture, hosted by&nbsp;<strong>Harry Pinero&nbsp;<\/strong>and&nbsp;<strong>Henrie<\/strong>. In the first episode of the new series, they discuss the Black Lives Matter protests, whether the black squares on Instagram were just performative (\u201c<em>your intentions should never be dependent on what your social media says it should be,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;says Harry) and they interview rapper&nbsp;<strong>Tion Wayne<\/strong>. All the music that gets featured in each episode is available to listen to on an accompanying playlist.&nbsp;By the way, their podcast is a Spotify exclusive, so you will need to head to the app or their website to listen.<br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/storyquest\">Storyquest<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;Last week we featured a storytelling podcast for children and with summer beckoning (and a summer of long car journeys ahead) there\u2019s also this one by&nbsp;<strong>Fun Kids,<\/strong>&nbsp;the children\u2019s radio station. Each of the stories are read out by one of their presenters and last 10 minutes a piece (so if you\u2019re going down the M4 that\u2019s one story per junction). I didn\u2019t realise how immensely popular these style of podcasts are for kids, so do let us know if there\u2019s one your kid loves that deserves more attention.<br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.audible.co.uk\/pd\/Jon-Snow-Making-the-News-Audiobook\/B088RKKKMH\">Jon Snow: Making the News<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;And finally, the veteran Channel 4 News anchor&nbsp;<strong>Jon Snow&nbsp;<\/strong>has a new Audible Original series looking back at the big news events that he has reported on in his 45 years in journalism, by pouring through and watching back the archives in the bunker at ITN\u2019s headquarters. Each episode covers a different news event: the Grenfell Tower fire, the Haiti earthquake and 9\/11. At a time when journalism has been under such scrutiny, this series is a timely reminder of the purpose and value it serves when it is done right.&nbsp;All of the episodes are available to listen to, but this podcast is only available to Audible subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.britishpodcastawards.com\/nominations-2020\">British Podcast Awards<\/a>&nbsp;are just around the corner (*toot trumpets*&nbsp;Saturday 11th July&nbsp;*folds trumpet back into case*), so a reminder that you&nbsp;only have two weeks left to submit your favourite for the&nbsp;Listeners\u2019 Award.
