Podcast picks are back! Here I share three podcasts you should try.

Before I do so – please consider subscribing to the Hansen’s Corner podcast by heading here. You can subscribe via Spotify, Pocket Casts, Apple Podcasts and wherever you listen to your podcasts.

The Guardian Long Read

• Similar to the Curio app – audio versions of their long read articles on theguardian.com.
• Good variety of voices – some by the writers themselves others voiced by a wide range of voice actors.
• Long read articles covers various topics – The environment, AI, COVID-19, the rise of ALDI supermarkets (a favourite of mine)
• Great passive listen – while working or relaxing
• Easy listen in terms of voices
• Not for those looking for a short podcast to listen to
• Search “The Guardian Audio Long Read” in your podcast app or search engine.

WTF1 Podcast

• Podcast by Formula 1 website wtf1.com
• First discovered them on YouTube
• Race reviews, F1 news and features
• Features including “That Time When” – discussing key moments in F1 history, my favourite.
• Different style to other F1 podcasts
• WTF1 – aimed at – mainly – the millennial generation
• Nice, approachable style
• Roundtable format works nicely
• Primarily Hosted Matt Gallagher – about to co-commentate for F1TV and the F2 World Feed this coming weekend.
• Search for “WTF1 Podcast” in your podcasting app or search engine

Nick Abbot Habit

• Podcast by UK talk station LBC
• Presented by Nick Abbot – formerly of Virgin Radio and Talk Radio in the 1990s among other UK stations.
• Best bits of his Friday and Saturday night shows
• Personally selected by Nick
• Dry sense of humour and sarcastic – my kind of humour
• Around 30 minutes long
• Zany style with clips from his soundbox and mocking silly callers
• Search “The Nick Abbot Habit” in your podcast app or search engine
