4 Entertaining Podcasts to Listen to While Working From Home:
1. No Such Thing As A Fish
Made by the QI Elves, or writers of QI to you and me, this podcast focuses on their favourite facts of the week. It’s the perfect podcast to listen to if you want to learn some random but interesting things you'd never otherwise know. Plus, they're great if you're bulking up your brain for a pub quiz!
From the love lives of turtles to the inventor of Vaseline, each episode is full of humour, fascinating info, and a LOT of puns, so if you’re into that, definitely check this out!

2. Queers Gone By
Created by two very hilarious queers, comedian Caitlin Powell and drag queen Kate Butch, this podcast is an absolute delight to be honest. Each episode they go back to their childhoods by reliving their favourite TV shows, films, and snacks in an attempt to find out if that’s what made them queer.
This podcast is a millennial nostalgia trip like no other. They analyse shows like Raven, Totally Spies, and, of course, the amazing Tracy Beaker. So, if you’re looking for some nostalgia and a good time, give this podcast a listen.

3. Stuff You Should Know
Stuff You Should Know does what it says on the tin. Every episode of this podcast focuses on a different topic, from how ice climbing works to a full rundown on sloths, and everything in between. There are hundreds of episodes going back years, so they’ll keep you busy for a long time.
Josh and Chuck know a LOT. So if you’re looking to learn a thing or two, then check this podcast out. Not to mention, they’re super funny and their voices are really comforting to listen to.

4. Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster
Two hilarious comedians, Ed Gamble and James Acaster, invite special guests into their magical restaurant to pick their ultimate dream meal. Yes, that’s right, an entire podcast dedicated to talking about food – what more could you want?!
This is a super lighthearted podcast, with fantastic guests like Katherine Ryan, Joe Lycett, Greg Davies, and Dara O Briain. James is, of course, a genie waiter, which is just as hilarious as it sounds, and they get their guests to pick their favourite starter, main course, side dish, and dessert, with a few surprises along the way. One to listen to if you're in need of a laugh.

Bonus! Adulting Made Uneasy
As a cheeky bonus entry, I thought I might add that my partner and I have just released our own podcast! It is called Adulting Made Uneasy, and it is an unofficial guide to adulting by two twenty-somethings who most definitely don't know what they're doing!
"Picture this. It's 2020, there's a global pandemic, and you're currently in lockdown with your best pal. What do you do with your newfound time? You start a podcast, of course! Partners, Loz and Dan, aim to tackle all the woes, worries, and adventures of adulthood as two people who have been handed these responsibilities without so much as a flat-pack Ikea instruction guide. Full of plenty of laughs, a few grumbles, and a boat-load of questions, join their journey as they attempt to work out what it really means to 'adult'."
