Here’s our June 2024 Podcast Roundup – what we’ve been listening to in the worlds of CultBox.
In no particular order, our picks this month are…
The Gaby Roslin Podcast: Laura Checkley
Gaby spent time in the company of actor Laura Checkley, star of Detectorists, King Gary and Screw. The chat ran through her career, from football to dancing to acting, and her recent marriage.
Also this month, there’s an engaging chat with Extraordinary‘s Máiréad Tyers too.
The Radio Times Podcast: Karen Gillan
The former Doctor Who star, turned Hollywood actor, chatted to host Kelly-Ann Taylor about growing up in Inverness and moving to London aged 19. The conversation, which covers topics such as anonymity and the pressures on women’s bodies, naturally takes in Amy Pond and Marvel’s Nebula, before discussing her role in Stephen Moffat’s Douglas is Cancelled.
Also this month, The Radio Times Podcast spoke to actor Suranne Jones about her career, balancing family life and work. Also, it covers her recent Channel 4 documentary Suranne Jones: Investigating Witch Trials.
Brydon & Emily Bader
Rob Brydon reunites with the rising star of the Prime Video’s new Tudor fantasy series My Lady Jane. The amiable conversation tackles accents, horses and on-set antics as it remorselessly hammers home the show’s start date.
Who and Company – Tribute to William Russell
To commemorate the passing of actor William Russell, there’s a charming interview with the actor from 2018. Recorded at a Baltimore convention, it covers both his TARDIS time and starring role in The Adventures of Sir Lancelot.
The Sirens of Audio: Carole Ann Ford – An Unearthly Podcast
In what is believed to be her first podcast interview, the Sirens speak to Carole Ann Ford, who played the Doctor’s granddaughter Susan. The conversation covers her acting career from aged 8, her time on the show and returning to Susan on audio for Big Finish.

This month, Simon Brew dug into the stories behind 1917, The Girl on the Train, Morbius, The Gift, The Bikeriders, Beetlejuice and Rye Lane.
