Here’s our July 2024 Podcast Roundup – what we’ve been listening to in the worlds of CultBox. 

In no particular order, our picks this month are…

Full Disclosure – James Graham

James O’Brien chats to the playwright James Graham about his life and career, covering both stage and screen work.

The discussion veers from Graham’s North Yorkshire upbringing and the political nature of his work, to hit West End plays including Dear England and the current The Boys from the Blackstuff. Plus, television dramas such as Quiz, Brexit: An Uncivil War and Sherwood.

Brydon & John Lloyd

Rob talks to television producer and QI creator John Lloyd about his career, particularly the success of Not The Nine O’Clock News, but also Blackadder and Spitting Image.

They also discuss his experiences making the 90s Barclaycard adverts starring Rowan Atkinson, the difference between talent and genius, and his son Harry who makes music as Waiting for Smith.

The Radio Times Podcast: Emma Myers

Wednesday‘s Emma Myers talks about growing up, how the Addams Family show changed her life and her current role as Pip in A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.

Doctor Who: Too Hot For TV! – The 12 Inch Glory

Normally focussed on Doctor Who‘s extended media universe, the podcast enjoys a side-step into The War of the Worlds.

On an entertaining and irreverent deep dive into Jeff Wayne’s “prog rock extravaganza”, the hosts talk through the production track by track. Ulla!
