From albums and audiobooks to the podcasts you may not know about, pop in your ear pods and prepare to be enthralled
Breakdown
“I initially started reading this and then promptly downloaded the audiobook so I could multi-task and listen. This is about a middle-aged woman who ticked all the boxes in life until one day she gets up, walks out her front door, and never comes back. It’s an enthralling read about identity that touches upon self-compassion, joy, and transformation.” Elle, Beauty Editor and Acting Deputy Editor
The Run-Through with Vogue
“I love to listen to The Run-Through with Vogue. Chloe Malle co-hosts the show with the recently appointed new Head of Editorial Content at British Vogue, Chioma Nnadi. The episodes are wonderfully varied and they often have the most incredible guests that we don’t hear from too often such as Anna Wintour and celebrity stylist Kate Young.” Megan, Editorial Assistant
Cowboy Carter
“Like most of the world I waited with bated breath for Beyoncé to release her much anticipated Countryfied Cowboy Carter and it is safe to say I have been listening to it on repeat, but the one song that really got me in the feels was her duet with Miley Cyrus ‘II Most Wanted’. It is a song that made me weepy the minute I heard it, and one I know will be a bestie anthem for years to come.” – Ariana, Sales Manager
Who Trolled Amber Heard?
“In 2022, millions of us watched the celebrity trial of the century, Depp v Heard, where Amber Heard lost and Johnny Depp was vindicated. But is it possible that Amber was actually the victim of an organised trolling campaign? This is a really interesting podcast which reveals how at least 50% of the conversation around Amber Heard during her trial with Johnny Depp was ‘inauthentically generated’. A terrifying but fascinating listen.” Niamh, Acting Editor
My Name is Barbra
“When I saw that the audiobook of Barbra Streisand’s autobiography was 48 hours long, I nearly dismissed it without even pressing play. But then I realised that she speaks very slowly so I could listen comfortably at 1.25x speed! She’s a surprisingly divisive character but if you’re at all interested in her films, her music, Hollywood in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, how films are produced and directed and what it’s like to act and rub shoulders with – not to mention date! – some of the biggest names in Tinseltown, this is a fascinating look at them all. With musical snippets throughout, this is a full account of Barbra’s life told in her words and, let me tell you, it’s one hell of a story!” – Claire, Digital Journalist
The Rest is History
“I’m really enjoying the Rest is History podcast in which historians Dominic Sandbrook and Tom Holland dive deeply into historical events with boyish enthusiasm and razor-sharp observations. Subjects are wide ranging, from the historicity of Game of Thrones to Vladimar Putin’s rise to power. What I particularly enjoy about this podcast is that it helps you to understand current events such as the Ukraine war in an informal but insightful way.” – Ciara, Art Director
