Podcasts are big business. In the early days, they were seen as pretty niche. But now, there are pods out there covering anything and everything. Football. History. Politics. Current affairs. Gaming. Comedy. Cooking. Music. Whatever you’re into, there’s almost definitely a show talking about it. And because they’re audio-based, you can pop on an episode while you drive, work, or do the washing up. All the big streaming services support them too. So, fire up Spotify or Apple Podcasts, and dive in! 

And now they’re so popular in fact, that they’ve even got their very own date in the calendar. This year, International Podcast day lands on September 30th. It’s a day where fans and creators come together to celebrate the sheer number of great shows out there and the talented people behind them. Whether you’ve been into pods since day one or hadn’t even heard of them until now (where have you been?), it’s a chance to get involved and find your future go-to show. Who knows, it might even inspire you to start your own…

So, to mark the big day, we’ve had a quick chat with a bunch of our colleagues at iD Mobile about their favourite pods. Hopefully it’ll give you some inspo for your next great listen.

 

Sword and Scale.

 

 

Sian W is a fan of the true crime podcast Sword and Scale, a show that delves into real-life crime stories with a focus on factual and respectful storytelling. She finds true crime fascinating and appreciates how this podcast is put together, noting, “I find true crime really interesting, and this one is made respectfully and factually.” Sian also enjoys the sense of community among listeners of the show. She typically tunes in while working or doing housework, making it a regular part of her day.

 

Off Menu.

 

 

Chloe B's favorite podcast is Off Menu, a comedy show hosted by two of her favorite comedians, James Acaster and Ed Gamble. She loves how funny it is and enjoys the variety of famous guests who appear on the show. Chloe appreciates how each episode reveals a bit about the guests' personalities and backgrounds, making it even more engaging. She usually listens to podcasts on long drives, while cleaning, or when she's out walking. As she puts it, "It's the only times I really focus on what I'm listening to, and it keeps me entertained while I'm doing something boring."

 

The High Performance Podcast.

 

 

Michael D’s favorite podcast is The High Performance Podcast, where host Jake Humphrey and psychologist Damian Hughes interview top performers across various fields. He finds it both motivational and insightful, as it explores the habits and mindset behind success. Michael listens while working out, driving, or cooking, making these routine activities more productive and inspiring.

 

SNG.

 

 

Matthew T's go-to podcast is SNG, a comedy show hosted by two friends, James and Fuhad, who bring a fresh and hilarious perspective to everyday topics. Matthew first discovered them through some funny highlights on YouTube, and now he tunes in every week, often finding himself laughing out loud. He enjoys listening while working or traveling, making these times more enjoyable with the humor and chemistry between the hosts.
