? ALERT<\/strong> ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is your last opportunity to shape the shortlist for the Best International Award <\/strong>(supported by Podfront UK<\/a>) <\/strong>at the British Podcast Awards 2021<\/strong><\/a>! The awards, which celebrate the best podcasting can offer, are asking readers of the Great British Podcast Newsletter (*cough* that\u2019s you) to put forward your favourites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The podcast you can nominate can be literally anything: from news, to entertainment to fiction, providing it wasn\u2019t made in the UK! All you need to do is head to our website<\/a>, simply search for your fave international podcast and follow the quick instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking of the British Podcast Awards<\/strong> (which are powered by Amazon Music), many of your favourite shows are currently beavering away on their entries, as they\u2019ve only got until Monday 29th March<\/a> at Midday (that\u2019s tomorrow if you\u2019re reading this email on the usual Sunday). There are twenty categories they can enter, including several new ones including Best Documentary and the Best Lockdown Podcast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember the age old rule of entering awards\u2026 if you think there\u2019s a good chance you will win, enter! If you think other podcasts must be better than yours and you surely won\u2019t win\u2026 enter! That\u2019s how this works. All the rules and how to enter is available on the British Podcast Awards<\/a> website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GUESTS ON PODCASTS THIS WEEK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have heard a great guest on a podcast, let us know! Fill in <\/strong>this form<\/strong><\/a> and it might get featured in an upcoming newsletter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are our podcast picks for the week ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want your podcast featured, or you have a great recommendation, all you need to do is fill in this <\/strong>simple form<\/strong><\/a> and might get featured in a future newsletter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Solo Collective<\/strong><\/a> – <\/strong>Working at home by ourselves has been a reality for many of us over the last year, but for many, such as freelancers, it\u2019s been a way of life for years. Whilst it does have its benefits (the best being there no office politics because there isn\u2019t one!) it certainly comes with its downsides. In this new series Rebecca Seal, author of \u201cSolo – How to Work Alone and Not Lose Your Mind\u201d explores a number of issues solo workers face, from keeping productive when there\u2019s nobody telling you off, to dealing with your biggest critic (yourself). The guests that have been chosen are really interesting too, from Anne Helen Petersen (who wrote this viral article about generational burnout<\/a>) to Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the The Happiness Lab<\/a> podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI think imposter syndrome weirdly \u2026 gets louder the more you have evidence for being good at something,\u201d<\/em> says author Emma Gannon, in a frank discussion about self-sabotage<\/a>. \u201cA little bit of self-doubt is amazing, like when you are editing a book \u2026 but when your inner critic is so loud that it turns into this troll, that is just getting in the way.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dead Parent Club<\/strong><\/a> – <\/strong>There are so many great podcasts that can help support you through a difficult and isolating issue. This podcast, presented by Kat and Emma, is for those who have experienced the death of a close one, with relatable anecdotes about coping with the immediate aftermath, to dealing with the practicalities afterwards. One thing that gets pointed out is how grief can come in so many different forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An interesting discussion in one of their new episodes was about \u2018high-functioning grief,\u2019 where you immediately push yourself back into normal life either because you don\u2019t want to make a fuss, you\u2019re not thinking rationally, it\u2019s a comfort or you don\u2019t know what to do with yourself. Kat immediately went into training for a new job after the death of her mother. \u201cLooking back I wish that I had taken a little bit more time,\u201d<\/em> she says. \u201cBut at the same time that training helped me forge friendships and relationships that helped me as well, when I needed it the most, so it’s sort of swings and roundabouts.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Spotify Podcast of the Week:<\/strong> Sorted with the Dyers<\/strong><\/a> – <\/strong>Dani and Danny are joined in the annexe (remotely of course) by Romesh Ranganathan this week for a very funny episode of Sorted with the Dyers. Whilst answering a listener question about baby names, Romesh inadvertently reveals what his real name is, and he also asks the Dyers for some marital advice…which leads Danny to explain how he once built himself into a wardrobe. Exclusively available on Spotify!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grow, cook, eat arrange with Sarah Raven and Arthur Parkinson<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>– Just last week we saw the return of \u201cGardeners World\u201d, which had a hugely successful year in light of the lockdown. This podcast has been a popular favourite too, where gardeners Sarah and Arthur give advice on the best time and techniques for planting, how best to pick flowers, how to grow your own food and how to deal with the sheer amount of gardening terms that won\u2019t make sense to a newbie. It\u2019s a reliable, accessible and engaging series, with new episodes out each week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All The Best (& Worst) with Mr and Mrs Hinch<\/strong><\/a> – <\/strong>This podcast has been firmly at the top of all the podcasting charts in recent weeks. Mrs Hinch aka. Sophie Hinch is an influencer who has built a considerable empire from her cleaning hacks and down-to-earth Instagram stories. She\u2019s now launched her new podcast, with her husband Jamie, where they talk frankly about their relationship and whatever is on their mind. Such podcasts, such as Sh**ged Married Annoyed<\/strong><\/a>, have been enormously popular over the last couple of years, able to get you closer to someone you admire beyond just following them on social media. Whilst this podcast might not appeal necessarily to new fans, this podcast does a lot for those who already do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, there have been a lot of memorials and tributes on the anniversary of the first national lockdown, but one piece of audio that really stopped me in my tracks this week was the BBC Newscast<\/strong><\/a> podcast. Instead of focusing on what happened after March 2020, listeners sent in clips from what they were doing on the weeks leading up <\/em>to lockdown. You hear sounds of parents recording their children at the softplay centre, parents watching their children performing in orchestras and church bellringers taking part in a rehearsal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s a poignant reminder of those moments we\u2019ve lost over the last year, but it\u2019s also a subtle reminder of all of the things we have to look forward to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ?
