This week's podcast lineup is a diverse mix of entertainment, education, and activism.
Ignoring That Feeling has stolen the show with its hilarious and unpredictable conversations. Alison Spittle and Fern Brady embark on a wild ride, discussing everything from Lily Allen's "breakup album for narcissists" to sex and even pig orgasms - yes, you read that right! The hosts' chemistry is undeniable, making this podcast an absolute must-listen.
The Economist's Andrew Bartleby has also made waves with his new series on the impact of generative AI on employment. His first episode dives into the topic of job replacement, tackling it head-on with a unique experiment - writing a column and having an AI program do the same, asking colleagues to distinguish between the two.
Meanwhile, fans of hip-hop are in for a treat with MF Doom: Long Island to Leeds. Afrodeutsche and Adam Batty delve into the life and legacy of the enigmatic rapper, shedding light on his story and the circumstances surrounding his mysterious passing in West Yorkshire. The podcast is a fitting tribute to an icon who left behind a lasting impact on the music world.
For those affected by cancer or living with the disease, You, Me and the Big C has produced another poignant special episode. This time around, Lauren Mahon joins Steve Bland for an open conversation about their shared experience, reflecting on the show's influence and paying tribute to Deborah James.
Lastly, Safe takes a critical look at efforts to protect vulnerable young people through music. Hosted by journalist Ciaran Thapar, this urgent series features interviews with key figures in the field, including Ben Lindsay and Justin Finlayson, who are making waves with their work.

! Their conversations are wild and hilarious, I loved how they dived into topics like Lily Allen's breakup album (I mean, what even is that?) and got real about sex. The Economist's Andrew Bartleby is also on point with his generative AI series - who knew writing a column was so hard?! 
And for all you hip-hop heads out there, MF Doom: Long Island to Leeds is a must-listen - their special episode about Deborah James is really touching 
I'm loving the variety in this week's lineup, Safe's critical look at protecting young people through music is so important, and You, Me and the Big C's cancer special is always a highlight 
🎙
. And have you heard Andrew Bartleby's series on AI? Mind blown 
, it's so interesting to see how this technology is changing our lives already. I'm definitely gonna check out MF Doom: Long Island to Leeds, I love his music and it's a shame he passed away 
. The cancer support special episode is always emotional, thanks for producing that You, Me and the Big C 
. And Safe tackling tough issues like protecting vulnerable young people through music is so important 
. Can't wait to see what else they have lined up!
! As a parent, I think it's amazing that there's so much variety out there to cater to different interests and ages. My kiddos are into the "Ignoring That Feeling" podcast - they find Alison and Fern's banter hilarious 
. And I love how some of these shows are focused on community and supporting people through tough times, like "You, Me and the Big C". My own kids would really benefit from a conversation about anxiety and self-care - maybe someone should create a podcast for parents too?! 
. And Andrew's series on AI is so timely, I'm curious to see how it plays out. The hip-hop episode sounds epic too, MF Doom was such an icon 
. The cancer support special episode made me feel all the feels 
, and Safe's series on protecting vulnerable youth is super important we need more people like Ben and Justin fighting for what's right 
. What's your take on any of these podcasts?
. and MF Doom: Long Island to Leeds sounds like an amazing tribute - I used to listen to his old albums nonstop back in the day 
. but for real, these podcasts are giving me all the feels... can't wait to dive into each of them 
. Like, what's next? Letting robots do all our jobs and just expecting everyone to be happy about it? It's already happening in some companies and it's gonna be a total disaster for people who actually need the work 
. I mean, Andrew Bartleby thinks an AI can write better than him? Please 
. The whole thing is just a glorified experiment in automation and social engineering. Can't wait to see what kind of " jobs" they come up with next 
.
)
. Can't wait to dive into all of these episodes!
. The podcast just feels so intimate and genuine, you know? And did you see the stats on cancer awareness? 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer by 2040 
. We need more conversations like You, Me and the Big C.
and I gotta say, That Feeling podcast is giving me LIFE 
i mean, it makes me wonder about my own writing skills... and how much of it is just code 
And I'm loving The Economist's series on generative AI, it's so fresh and relevant, you know? But what really gets me is Safe's take on protecting young people through music, it's such an important topic and I love that they're shining a light on people who are making a difference. 
And don't even get me started on the generative AI series. Are they just trying to make a name for themselves by tackling trendy topics? It feels like every podcast is now a self-care "session" where people share their feelings and vulnerabilities... how original 
IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE! IGNORING THAT FEELING IS SOUNDS HILARIOUS AND I NEED TO CHECK IT OUT ASAP! 
I'M ALSO REALLY INTERESTED IN THE ECONOMIST'S SERIES ON GENERATIVE AI AND EMPLOYMENT, IT FEELS LIKE SUCH A TIMELY TOPIC. AND OF COURSE, MF DOOM: LONG ISLAND TO LEEDS SOUNDS AMAZING, HE'S ONE OF MY FAVE RAPPERS! 
. And that Safe podcast series about protecting young people through music? So important 
. It's great to see podcasts tackling tough topics like cancer and mental health with such sensitivity and care 
. I mean, I've heard of him before, but I don't really get what the big deal is. Is it just because he's dead or something? And as for the cancer podcast, yeah, it's nice that they're trying to raise awareness and all, but can't we talk about something else for once? Like, have you seen the latest season of 'Till Death Do Us Part'? Now that's some real drama 
.
