Fonejacker fans rejoice! This week's podcast lineup is a treat for those who enjoy the outrageous antics of Kayvan Novak's alter ego, Brian Badonde. In his latest series, the Fonejacker mastermind dons the persona of a bumbling art critic and chats with comedian Adam Buxton and pop sensation Ella Eyre about life in the music industry.
Novak's sharp tongue is on full display as he interviews his guests, though it's unlikely to win him any fans who are easily offended. Despite his ineptitude, Badonde manages to coax some revealing insights from Ella Eyre, who bravely recounts her struggles with fame and identity.
In other podcast news, Dani Shapiro's long-running show "Family Secrets" continues to captivate audiences with its blend of interview-style conversations and therapy sessions. This week's episode explores the story of an actor who concealed his Arab heritage after 9/11, and how he navigated a system that refused to recognize him.
Shvorne Marks' "How to Be an Actor and Not Lose Your Sh*t" offers a refreshingly honest look at life in the acting world. The show's host shares her own struggles with burnout and depression, interviewing fellow actors about their experiences navigating the highs and lows of the industry.
Meanwhile, the BBC's investigative podcast "World of Secrets: The Child Cancer Scam" delves into a shocking story of online scams preying on vulnerable families. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in true crime or investigative journalism.
Last but not least, "War Hall: A Theatre of the Mind" offers an immersive history lesson about Walthamstow Assembly Hall, hosted by the legendary Angela Allen and historian Prof John Thomas. It's a slickly produced podcast that will transport you to another era with its engaging storytelling and atmospheric soundscapes.

. The Fonejacker guy's show is just too funny, I mean who else can make fun of themselves like that? 
But seriously, it's great to see comedians and celebrities opening up about their struggles with fame and identity. It's like they're saying "Hey, we're human too" 
.
And Shvorne Marks' show is just so refreshing, I love how honest she is about her own struggles with burnout and depression. It's like we're all in this together 
.
Ugh, it's just terrible. But you know what? Investigative journalism is so important, it's like a breath of fresh air. And "War Hall: A Theatre of the Mind" sounds like just the thing to transport me back in time - I love old history lessons 
. So keep 'em coming! 
. Brian Badonde is just so... himself 
. It's not always easy to listen to, but it's definitely a thought-provoker 
. Anyway, I've also been enjoying the "World of Secrets" podcast - that child cancer scam stuff is just wild 
. Can't we just have some chill conversations without all the drama and controversy? Fonejacker's antics are just cringeworthy at this point and I don't get why people are still into it 
. The other shows seem kinda samey to me, all about the "struggle" and "vulnerability" and whatnot. Can't we just talk about something normal for once? Like, have you guys tried that new pizza place downtown? 
. And btw, Ella Eyre being brave about her struggles with fame and identity? Please, she's been open about it on multiple occasions already 
. Can't praise the girl enough for speaking truth to power! 
i mean who needs mainstream news when you've got Dani Shapiro keeping it real about family secrets? her convo with the actor about concealing his heritage is so mind-blowing 
and shvorne marks' acting podcast is giving me all the feels - burnout is such a real thing in this industry, but she's sharing her story and helping others do the same 
.
