Podcast Picks Curated by Paul and Erika
![]() Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men podcast cover art | Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-MenA podcast to feed your nostalgic geek: Jay and Miles are here to help you relive all those most excellent X-Men comics from when you were growing up. Are you confused about what magnetism can and cannot do? Do you sometimes wonder if, maybe, Professor X wasn’t the best mentor? Can you not remember what the hell was going on with Madeline Pryor? Jay and Miles are here for you! |
![]() Noble Blood podcast cover art | Noble BloodLet Dana Schwartz tell you all about some of the most insanely fascinating (and fascinatingly insane) royals that have graced this earth. She’ll take you back to history class, but only for the highlights. Well, also the lowlights. It’s the middle-lights you’ll get to skip. P.S. – we picked this episode because Lord Byron gets a lot of credit for being a romantic hero, but have you ever heard of his love, Lady Caroline Lamb? |
![]() The Newest Olympian podcast cover art | The Newest OlympianA podcast to feed your nostalgic book reader: Mike Schubert is reading the Percy Jackson novels for the first time, and he will make you want to read them with him…whether you already know everything about Camp Half Blood, or have no idea that Artemis and Diana are both the same being and completely different. |
![]() Who? Weekly podcast cover art | Who? WeeklyA podcast to feed your nostalgic gossipmonger: twice a week, Bobby and Lindsey make sure you get “everything you need to know about the celebrities you don’t.” They are the aural equivalent of picking up a People magazine before a flight and reading it cover-to-cover…only they’re better, because they skip the boring stuff. You may not know who they’re talking about, but you will be entertained! |
![]() Buffering the Vampire Slayer | A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Podcast podcast cover art | Buffering the Vampire Slayer | A Buffy the Vampire Slayer PodcastJenny and Kristin are on their second time through the iconic series (this time with spoilers!), but with Sarah Michelle Gellar pulling out her stakes and holy water again, there’s no better time to get into the Buffy-verse! Start with this episode...and make sure it's the episode from 2016! They've gone through the whole series without spoilers, and have started again WITH spoilers. You want to go on this whole journey with Kristin and Jenny! |

🇬🇧The Best Podcast Originating From London Luton Airport🇬🇧Experience the latest episode of The Undercover Intern. It's best that you have in-depth knowledge of the 1992 UK general election, ungulates, and the intelligence to appreciate the clever callback jokes that relate to earlier episodes. Given those parameters, you will smile at least once and, let's face it, you do need to smile more. After that, please listen to at least 90 seconds of the other 30-plus episodes of The Undercover Intern so that my statistics go up. This isn't a Ponzi scheme, but I do offer high returns with zero risk: let's build the world's largest comedy pyramid together by inviting five of your most popular friends to listen too (must be done within 12 minutes of reading this advert, or else). -Paul Watkinson, host of Undercover Intern |

Tuesday Night Movie Night Pairing
Brigsby Bear. This film tells a strange story of a man whose favorite childhood TV show was created in secret, just for him. When the show is abruptly cancelled, the man sets out to complete the story himself. Brigsby Bear is a hilarious, profound, optimistic tribute to the comfort we find in the pop culture that shaped us.

🎙️The Undercover Intern is an alienated satire about free will and the manic midlife scramble for meaning. Pretty funny in places. Not for everyone, and not really for interns.

Podcast news from Podnews
In Variety, we learn that video podcasts aren’t eligible to win an Emmy. “Podcasts are not eligible if it’s a straight video recording of the audio podcast,” according to a spokesperson. (The Golden Globes have a new podcast award, however).
Spotify has released data on Gen Z’s use of podcasts on the platform. There’s an increase of listening to podcast streams on school day mornings from students; and they switch to podcast categories like science and business/tech.
The top 25 shows in the UK was released by Edison Research Podcast Metrics. In the top 5, three shows are from Goalhanger. The list now includes people who only watch podcasts and never listen - beneficiaries of this include Diary of a CEO, the BBC’s Newscast (which is broadcast on TV), and Call Her Daddy.

It’s a comedic novel told in 10 sections, narrated by the author, Nicole Beckley. |
