Five Podcasts and Why I adore them so.

Okay, I have a bit of a ridiculous affinity for podcasts. The word 'Podcast' has been around for ten years and, for five of those years I have been firmly on the bandwagon. So to celebrate my five years of podcast loving, here are my five favourite podcasts of right now.


1. Answer Me This

Helen and Olly answer questions on anything and everything, as asked by their listeners. Their advice is sometimes educational, sometimes helpful and sometimes insightful. Their answers are also usually hilarious and often makes me laugh out loud. I have listened to every single episode at least once and I love their app [though it has a yellow icon and I sometimes open it when I want snapchat and vice versa *facepalm*]. 

2. Gymcastic

This is Jessica O'Beirne's baby. It is probably more suited to the hardcore gymnastics fans and the 'gymternet' at large. However, as a former gymnast, current coach and  current judge, THESE PEOPLE SPEAK MY LANGUAGE! It is great to have my favourite sport discussed in a feature length episode every single week. Plus, they have the best interviews. 

3. Thinkergirl 

Holy Crap. I can't speak highly enough of this, Stacey June and Kristie Mercer, who work in brekky radio, talk about everything they can't say on air. Ten minutes per topic, rotating guests, and many many funny moments. 

4. TOFOP/FOFOP

Wil Anderson  and Charlie Clausen  and sometimes "Guest Charlies" discuss....anything and everything. They don't finish stories, they say 'totally' a lot, and they pitch at least one movie a fortnight. The seemingly random "fonus" episodes are also fantastic. In all honesty, I appreciate the time and effort Wil puts into the podcast and it really shows in his passion (and intoxicated demeanour).

5. Stop the Posts

This is a new addition. Whenever I know I won't be able to get to sleep for a while, I listen to back episodes of this podcast. You know when you read down the page on a news article and cringe with embarrassment at what people comment? Well this podcast makes fun of those fools, with assistance from producer Bryce Halliday. They don't have a website yet, but they are on facebook.

Until next time lovelies xx
