Kayvan Novak has returned to his Fonejacker roots with a new podcast series that brings back one of his most infamous personas: the hapless art critic Brian Badonde. The show is a silly and sometimes cringe-worthy romp through the world of high culture, as Kayvan attempts to interview guests like Adam Buxton and singer Ella Eyre while maintaining his character's bumbling ineptness.
Novak's comedic skills are on full display as he struggles to pronounce words that don't start with "B", often resulting in hilarious mispronunciations. Despite the absurdity of it all, Ella Eyre proves to be a candid and insightful guest, sharing stories about her time in the music industry.
If you're looking for a podcast that's part therapy session, part interview, then Dani Shapiro's Family Secrets might be more up your alley. This long-running series explores the things families keep hidden, including secrets and lies that can have lasting impacts on individuals.
On a completely different note, Shvorne Marks hosts How to Be an Actor and Not Lose Your Sh*t, which delves into the chaotic world of show business. The podcast features interviews with fellow actors like Pearl Mackie and Stacey Dooley, who share their own experiences navigating the industry's ups and downs.
For something a bit more serious, World of Secrets: The Child Cancer Scam is a hard-hitting investigative podcast that exposes a multimillion-dollar scam targeting families affected by child cancer. Simi Jolaoso's reporting is thorough and compelling, shedding light on a complex issue that affects many families worldwide.
Lastly, War Hall: A Theatre of the Mind is a history podcast that explores the Walthamstow Assembly Hall in London. Co-hosted by cinema legend Angela Allen and historian Prof John Thomas, this slickly produced show delves into the hall's rich history and sounds like an immersive listen.

! Fonejacker is back and better than ever 
, and I'm here for Brian Badonde's antics... when he can't even be bothered to get his own name right 
. But seriously, Kayvan Novak's got some serious comedic chops, and Adam Buxton was great as always 
.
. I need more of that in my podcast diet 
. And Shvorne Marks' How to Be an Actor is giving me all the feels - who hasn't been in show business and lost their sh*t at some point? 
. Simi Jolaoso's reporting is top-notch, and I love that it sheds light on something so important. And War Hall: A Theatre of the Mind is like stepping into history - Angela Allen and Prof John Thomas are total pros 
What's your fave podcast right now?
! Kayvan Novak's comedic skills are on point and it's so funny to see him struggle with non-"B" words 
. Shvorne Marks' How to Be an Actor and Not Lose Your Sh*t is also super intriguing - love the mix of show business drama and advice 
! The only one that didn't grab my attention as much was Dani Shapiro's Family Secrets... but that's just me 
. War Hall: A Theatre of the Mind sounds amazing tho! 
his brian badonde character is so cringeworthy lol but at the same time adam buxton and ella eyre are actually really funny together 
. I love how he struggles to pronounce words that aren't "B" related, it's just so cringeworthy in the best way possible 
. War Hall: A Theatre of the Mind sounds like an amazing listen too 
I mean, who wouldn't want to listen to an art critic who's actually not that good at his job? 
... I don't think anyone else could pull off making art criticism sound so silly and cringe-worthy 
. Anyway, if you're a fan of comedy podcasts, this one's definitely worth checking out 
.
but like, if you need something more serious, world of secrets: the child cancer scam is literally giving me all the feels 
.
.
.
. I'm also intrigued by Dani Shapiro's Family Secrets - the idea of exploring secrets and lies that can impact individuals on a deep level is super fascinating 
. The fact that Ella Eyre can hold her own despite his antics is a testament to her professionalism 
!
! Kayvan Novak's comedic skills are on point as Brian Badonde 
. I'm definitely adding this to my list of podcasts to listen to ASAP 
. What do you guys think? Are there any other podcasts on that list that caught your eye? 
on the other hand, I've heard good things about Dani Shapiro's podcast and I'm intrigued by how to be an actor 
. i dont know if im ready to commit to listening to some art critic guy ramble on for hours 
... and the one about child cancer scams sounds way too intense for my taste 
... but that war hall podcast does sound pretty cool, maybe ill give it a shot
