Kermode and Mayo's Film Review
Love these guys, they just ramble on for a couple of hours talking about everything and anything. Mark Kermode reviews the weeks biggest movie releases and gives his verdict in his own inimitable style. Being a movie buff myself I find some of his reviews right on the mark but others way off scale. But its always entertaining and Simon Mayo's astute observations and dry wit compliments Kermode's enthusiastic, almost juvenile personality really well. You can see that they both genuinely enjoy what they do and there is a real matey chemistry between the two. Some great guests as well with A - lst movie stars and directors regularly popping in to discuss their work.

Pitch
Whitney Jones and Alex Kapleman talk about their love of music and how it shapes who we are. Great structure to the show, excellent delivery by the hosts and some wonderful stories about the transcendent power of music. A must for music lovers.
99% Invisible
Its totally silly but i just love this podcast. Host Roman Mars devotes shows to life altering topics such as the history of Wonder Bread, the social impact of cul-de-sacs or where the clicking noise of phones emanate from. Inane and addictive.

The Andy Daly Podcast Pilot Project
Andy Daly is an actor/comedian and master improviser. This show plays to the mans talent and strengths brilliantly. Each episode is a pilot for a different character which Daly assumes and an hour of hilarity ensues. One of the funniest podcasts out there.
