With millions of Brits already tuning in, now’s the time to join the podcast revolution
By Rob Waugh
Published: 22:00 BST, 10 August 2019 | Updated: 10:05 BST, 12 August 2019
Never mind TV on demand, podcasts are now the hottest thing in broadcasting, with the number of Britons tuning in doubling over the past five years.
Six million of us now listen to a podcast each week, according to industry watchdog Ofcom, and that number is steadily rising.
So what are podcasts, who makes them and why are they so popular?
Podcasts are essentially radio shows you can listen to any time on your PC, mobile phone or a smart speaker, like Amazon’s Alexa. Many are made by journalists or professional broadcasters, but some of the most exciting are by individuals with a real passion and knowledge about their subject.
Most podcasts don’t make money. However, some carry adverts or solicit donations from listeners, and high-earning podcasts (such as US comedy Chapo Trap House) can rake in up to £75,000 a month.
There are hundreds of thousands to choose from. Here, we’ve curated the best 100 from across a wide range of interests, from gardening to true crime.
Listening to podcasts is easy, whether you do it on a mobile, PC, tablet or smart speaker.
On a PC, open your internet browser and search for the name of the podcast. You’ll often find a ‘play’ button directly on the website, or if not a link to a service like iTunes where you can listen to the podcast.
Fans of The Sopranos are amply catered for in the world of podcasts. Each episode of Poda Bing focuses on just one episode of the TV classic

On your iPad, iPhone or Android device, you can also search on the web, but it’s simpler to use an app. For Apple devices, the free Podcasts app is a good choice. Install it, then search for the podcast you want. You’ll be able to download episodes and subscribe to podcasts you like. On Android, the Google Podcasts app works in a similar way.
You can also listen on Spotify, searching for podcasts in the same way as you search for music. And with a smart speaker, such as Google’s Home, say, ‘OK Google, play the podcast...’ and follow the prompts from there.
