History Hits with Dan Snow

This week our Pod Trawl begins with Dan Snow's History Hit podcast and learns about a real hero of a man, a member of the Polish resistance, who was sent as an agent to Auschwitz concentration camp, to find out what was actually going on there.

Folk on Foot

Then we join Matthew Bannister on his walks through our beautiful British landscape with the UK's best folk musicians. It's a beautiful podcast, as is the  wonderful You Tube page which features video clips from the episodes.

Freakonomics - the Opioid Tragedy in America

Freakonomics deals with all types of topics, but we found their examination of the Opioid crisis in America particularly fascinating.

WTF with Marc Maron

We stop off in Marc Maron's garage to go through his huge archive of podcasts (he's been at it for a very long time).

http://www.wtfpod.com/

Our personal favourite is his chat with Mel Brooks, and with former President Obama.
Oh how times have changed!

Here is a link to the Obama podcast:

And here is a link to Marc Maron chatting about how all of that happened (ie: the behind the scenes reveal, it's very entertaining):

Time for a Rant - about Celebrities and Podcasts

Then, via Fortunately with Fi and Jane's episode from a couple of weeks ago, Veronika has a little rant about the pointlessness of celebrities on podcasts:

Something Rhymes with Purple

And we finish off on a submile journey through the English language via the inimitable Giles Brandreth and the genius that is Susie Dent. It's such a treat:

Enjoy! 

And please do feel free to "like" our podcast, if you do like our podcast, that is. If you don't, don't let us know, we have very sensitive and fragile egos.

Love from Veronika and Vic
