Podcast Recommendations

I'm always on the lookout for new podcasts to listen to, generally about movies but if they're good I'll listen to anything.

I thought it might be good to throw a couple of recommendations out there and see what other people think is worth a listen.

Firstly, two classic film podcasts by the amazing Adam Roche, a chef by profession who also writes, produces and narrates incredibly detailed, fun and entertaining podcasts to a completely professional standard.

Attaboy Clarence is a general classic movie podcast, though generally sticking to far less famous films from the 1930s and 40s, generally finishing with a radio adaptation of one of the films.

The Secret History of Hollywood tells the story of various byways of movie history, written with scintillating detail like the most gripping novel you ever read. The current series of episodes is about the RKO/Val Lewton series of b-movie horror pictures and is just wonderful.

Both podcasts can be downloaded via iTunes, Podbean or here: https://www.attaboyclarence.com/

A shoutout also to Any Ladle's Sweet that Dishes out some Gravy, a classic movie podcast written and presented by Megan McGurk and Danielle Smith, who both really know their stuff. It's incredibly refreshing to hear two women talking about classic movies as so much discussion about film is entirely male. You can find their podcast via the normal podcast services or at http://anyladlessweetpodcast.com/.

I'm sure there are plenty more goodies out there, so what else should we all be listening to?

    Thank you for the classic movie podcast suggestions! I will check them out. I have a slightly unhealthy love of 1930's films.

    It is not a movie podcast, but my favorite is "Beyond Yacht Rock." It is made by the creators of the web series Yacht Rock. In Beyond Yacht Rock they make up musical genres and then count them down. It is quite funny.

    This is also not about movies but it is excellent. This review does S-Town more justice than I can:

    A podcast that I've been listening to lately is Spybrary - a great podcast if you're into spy novels.

    Thank you both for the suggestions. Funnily enough I was listening to Spybrary for the first time last week - the Charlie Muffin edition, as that's one of my favourite spy novels.
