– Shelley Hepworth A show that looks at Australia through the lens of a long-running soap opera: A Country Podcast It’s entertaining despite being about the legal system and has new relevance following the death of RBG. It starts with the Bush v Gore ruling on the Florida recount after the 2000 election – which, it turns out, was even more outrageous than I remembered. Each episode focuses on a particular decision of the US supreme court and the ideological and political forces at play in each. – Alyx Gorman A show that dissects bad US supreme court rulings: 5-4 Podcastĥ-4 describes itself as a progressive take on how much the supreme court sucks. It’s not about the verdict, but the insight into plaintiffs’ lives – which is fortunate because I listen to this to go to sleep, and am almost always unconscious before the case is concluded. The results are funny, strange and often quite tender. If you think listening to people hash out their pettiest domestic disputes for upwards of an hour doesn’t sound soothing, you’re dead wrong. These are the cases adjudicated by writer, comedian and human-PC John Hodgman, alongside his bailiff Jesse Thorn and the occasional guest judge. Make it about how someone’s wife won’t share her earnings in Animal Crossing (not guilty), or how someone’s husband cooks too many briskets (definitely guilty). Imagine Judge Judy, then lower the stakes. – Ben Smee A show that dissects petty domestic disputes: Judge John Hodg man The highlight of each episode is the alleged correspondence from farmers. The entire thing is, of course, beautifully deadpan satire. By episode six, a recap of the infamous Cumberfeld Cow Disaster, there’s no way of switching off.

In this case, listeners need to give it about one minute and 50 seconds into the first episode, which begins like a version of the ABC’s Country Hour, and launches into the beef forecast (“coastal beef stationary and fine”) and milk prices (“the Creme Fraiche is freeeesh”). The Beef and Dairy Network Podcast is a bit like what everyone says about Schitt’s Creek: it starts out unspectacularly, but those who persevere will be rewarded thereafter. – Calla Wahlquist A show devoted to cows: The Beef and Dairy Network It is exactly what I want to listen to while the world falls apart. I have listened to 15 episodes in a week and laughed so hard on my daily walk that I startled a cavoodle. Does it matter that I have never had direct experience of Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield’s blue-green eyes, blonde hair and perfect size six figures? Not in the slightest. I know that, as a journalist, I should pretend to enjoy listening to investigative podcasts but what I really want is two people with good chemistry, preferably women, recapping a thing. But that did not stop me from immediately downloading Double Love on the back of the one line-description of arts writer and editor Jane Howard: “Two Irish women rereading Sweet Valley High and realising how awful it is.”

My ghostwritten series of choice was The Saddle Club because I was (still am) an insufferable horse girl. I’ve never read a Sweet Valley High book. – Joe Koning A show devoted to reading – and hating – Sweet Valley High: Double Love Meanwhile, Scott struggles to remember even the most basic of details about the Turtles, even with the help of the catchy and descriptive ear worm that is the TMNT theme song (“Splinter taught them to be ninja teens/Leonardo leads/Donatello does machines…”). It’s a delight to hear Sprague break each film down with warmth and enthusiasm. Also covered is the 1993 film Surf Ninjas, which has no turtles, but several ninjas (and some surfing).
