Just discovered the History Unplugged podcast , loads of stuff there. Probably going to binge on the American civil war stuff for a bit
I listened to the latest one, the Battle of Britain one and thought it was pretty decent, I think I'll find ones I know nothing about to be really interesting.

Finally the full story can be told . It’s gold too
People hated it so much the cast got attacked and abused in the street
The Worst Sitcom Ever Made podcast
Geoff Houtman created the worst sitcom ever made. It's haunted him for 25 years
Thanks. Been having a listen while doing some tedious spreadsheet work.
What a klustaphok !
I can’t remember the show , it must have been awful though
I have no idea what the show is either, but I'm guessing the podcast is good even with knowing it?
It is good, the show was called Melody rules, the first episode is on youtube according to its wikipedia page. I can't remember it , must have been really shit to appear on worst tv show of all time lists.
That other podcast I mentioned covers lots of different stuff , if you're into history its bloody good.

My most listened to podcast is simply a radio one. Good way to listen to music of a type you enjoy, learn a few things and hear stuff that others have found for you.
I listen a lot to Face Radio which is soul/funk/blues based and pick and choose the presenters I enjoy. -

When they outline the background to how it got to air, it's no wonder it was such a flop. Good listen, that podcast - I got through the series pretty quickly.

I still recall him doing the movie reviews with the ghastly Steven Gray on Good Morning back in the early 2000s. I always thought he was the funnier of the two (not hard), but then he disappeared and they stuck with the chain-smoking bitchy stylings of Gray.

So with the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing coming up - you have no idea how old that makes me feel? Mind you pretty much everything makes me feel old now...
Anyways BBC are heavily promoting
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w13xttx2Caught the 1st episode yesterday. More of a scene setting thing. It's insane that in less than 8 years the yanks went from not even having put anyone in space to a successful lunar landing. I suppose throwing enormous amounts of money at the problem helped
Series focusses on the last 13 minutes before touchdown when things got really dicey and lots of things went wrong. Course we all know the ending but worth a listen for any space nuts

Or do we?

@dogmeat sort of linked, i went to a NASA exhibition in Brisbane that was pretty great. A lot focused on the early days of the space race. One great bit was some models, and just the audio of the landing played on a loop. Still gives you tingles listening to it "the eagle has landed"

@mariner4life It was piped through the sound system at school. I don't think any class did any work that afternoon.
Then ran home to watch the TV pictures that had been rushed across the Ta$man.
Half the Herald the next day was devoted to the story. They published a magazine on the mission which I bought for (I think) $1. Herald was 5 cents in those days.

I use Podcast Addict, but don't know if it's on Apple. I tried to switch to Stitcher as it tends to have slightly more content (especially if you pay for premium) but I don't seem to miss out on a lot. I found the controls/functionality in Stitcher to be really shit.

The Countdown podcast goes through the 10 most dangerous situations in the US space program (excluding space pirates). Some ended well, some didn't. Great research and production values on this series

Podcast Addict does the job for me too.
