Last week<\/u><\/strong><\/a>, in a bit of a 2020 rant about a new trend where celebrities are catapulted into presenting podcasts, I mentioned that when you think about it, there is a podcast on practically everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coincidentally this week Amanda Litherland<\/u><\/strong><\/a>, behind BBC Radio 4 Extra<\/em>\u2019s Podcast Radio Hour<\/u><\/strong><\/a>, asked for some niche podcasts recommendations for her latest episode<\/a>. Suggestions from listeners included Hot Pipes<\/u><\/strong><\/a> (a podcast featuring organ recordings from across the world) and Lunchwatch<\/u><\/strong><\/a> (a podcast that reviews and rates everyone\u2019s lunch).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favourite? Get Flushed<\/u><\/strong><\/a>. According to its website it \u201cis the FIRST and ONLY podcast to examine the portable sanitation industry from the perspective of its suppliers, operators, staff, customers and users. If you\u2019re in the industry or have ever used or hired a portable toilet, you need to listen to this show.\u201d<\/em> From my understanding, that\u2019s all of us. Clever marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the previous nominees of the Bullseye Award category<\/strong> at the British Podcast Awards<\/strong> powered by Acast<\/u><\/strong><\/a>, could be described as wonderfully niche too. My pick is Centuries of Sound<\/u><\/strong><\/a>. Each episode contains a mix of recorded sounds from a certain year, from today dating right back to 1859. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you know of a wonderfully niche podcast? All you need to do is let us know by filling in this form<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
