A very silly prank show for Fonejacker fans: best podcasts of the week

In a new podcast series, Fonejacker star Kayvan Novak revisits his infamous art critic persona, Brian Badonde, for laughs and insight into the world of music. Adam Buxton joins Badonde for a hilarious interview, while Ella Eyre offers candid reflections on her time in the industry despite being frequently confused by her own host's malapropisms.

For those who enjoy deeper explorations of family dynamics, Dani Shapiro's podcast Family Secrets returns with new episodes that delve into hidden secrets and unspoken truths. One recent guest shared a shocking story about concealing their Arab heritage following 9/11, revealing the complexities of identity in the public eye.

Actress Shvorne Marks takes on the role of host for How to Be an Actor and Not Lose Your S**t, tackling the challenges faced by aspiring actors with her own experiences. Alongside fellow performer Pearl Mackie and journalist Stacey Dooley, she shares stories of perseverance in a chaotic industry.

The BBC's World of Secrets podcast returns to tackle another heavy subject: online scams targeting sick children and their families for financial gain. Investigative reporter Simi Jolaoso carefully unravels the web of deceit behind these multimillion-dollar con tricks.

Lastly, War Hall: A Theatre of the Mind takes listeners on a journey through the history of Walthamstow Assembly Hall in London, hosted by cinema legend Angela Allen and historian John Thomas. This immersive production combines science of sound with engaging storytelling to create an enjoyable experience for fans of history and theatre alike.
 
OMG ๐Ÿคฃ I'm dead! Fonejacker star Kayvan Novak is back as the infamous Brian Badonde, who's still spewing out those cringeworthy malapropisms ๐Ÿ˜‚. I love how Adam Buxton just rolls with it, like "oh, yeah, that's what I meant to say"... meanwhile Ella Eyre is over here being all polite and stuff ๐Ÿ™„. Anyway, gotta respect Kayvan for trying to keep a straight face during those interviews ๐Ÿ‘
 
just heard about these podcasts and i'm so down for them ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ Adam Buxton's interview with Brian Badonde is gonna be laugh out loud, but also kinda sad ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ’” Dani Shapiro's Family Secrets podcast is so important we need more conversations like that ๐Ÿค๐Ÿผ. and war hall sounds like an amazing immersive experience ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ’ฅ
 
๐Ÿคฉ I'm so stoked about all these new podcasts out! It's awesome that Fonejacker star Kayvan Novak is revisiting his art critic persona, I mean who wouldn't want to hear more of Brian Badonde's hilarious takes on music ๐ŸŽต? And Dani Shapiro's Family Secrets podcast is tackling some really tough topics, but it's so great that her guest shared their story about concealing their heritage, it's a reminder that even with the complexity of identity, we can be brave and open up ๐Ÿ’–. Actresses Shvorne Marks and Pearl Mackie are killing it on How to Be an Actor and Not Lose Your S**t ๐ŸŽฌ, I love how they're sharing their own stories and experiences to help others navigate the industry. And I'm so glad the BBC is talking about online scams targeting sick kids and families, it's a harsh reminder that we need to be vigilant and protect each other ๐Ÿ’ช. War Hall: A Theatre of the Mind sounds like an amazing production too ๐ŸŽง, I love how they're combining history and storytelling to create this immersive experience... anyway, can't wait to dive into all these podcasts! ๐Ÿ“ป
 
I'm loving this podcast lineup ๐Ÿ“ป๐Ÿ‘! I think it's so cool that they're revisiting old personas like Brian Badonde... remember when he interviewed Adele and kept calling her "the Adeles"? ๐Ÿ˜‚ I was at that gig, OMG what a mess! Anyway, Family Secrets is such an important topic... my cousin went through something similar with their family history after 9/11 and it's crazy how much of an impact identity can have. ๐Ÿคฏ As for Shvorne Marks' podcast, I'm all about being an actor myself (in my mind, lol!), but it's awesome that she's sharing her experiences to help others not lose their minds ๐Ÿคฃ. Online scams are just awful... we need more people like Simi Jolaoso doing investigative journalism to expose these scammers! ๐Ÿ’ผ War Hall sounds like a really unique and immersive experience, I'm def checking it out ๐Ÿ‘
 
๐ŸŽงโ€โ™‚๏ธ I'm loving these new podcast series that are bringing back old faves and introducing fresh perspectives! ๐Ÿคฃ The way Adam Buxton's interview skills bring out the laughs in Brian Badonde is comedy gold ๐Ÿ’ฅ, and Ella Eyre's honesty about her time in the industry is super refreshing ๐ŸŒŸ. On a more serious note, Dani Shapiro's Family Secrets podcast is so deep ๐Ÿ”’ โ€“ sharing those hidden family secrets can be really eye-opening ๐Ÿ‘€. And I'm all for How to Be an Actor and Not Lose Your S**t ๐Ÿ’ช with Shvorne Marks at the helm - she's got some great stories to share ๐Ÿ“š! Meanwhile, The BBC's World of Secrets podcast is tackling some really tough topics ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ, so kudos to Simi Jolaoso for shedding light on those online scams ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™€๏ธ. And lastly, War Hall: A Theatre of the Mind sounds like an immersive experience I'd love to try ๐ŸŽฅ๐Ÿ‘! #PodcastLoversUnite #ComedyGold #FamilySecretsMatter #SupportForScamsAwareness #TheatreOfTheMind
 
I'm loving this podcast lineup ๐Ÿ“ป๐ŸŽง! You know what's wild, though? How these shows all tackle such heavy topics but still manage to be super entertaining? I mean, Kayvan Novak's malapropisms as Brian Badonde are hilarious ๐Ÿ˜‚, but also a commentary on how language can be used to manipulate or mislead. And then there's Dani Shapiro's Family Secrets - it's crazy to think about how much of our identity is tied up in these "secrets" we keep from the world ๐Ÿคฏ.

I'm also really excited about Shvorne Marks' new podcast, How to Be an Actor and Not Lose Your S**t ๐Ÿ˜‚. I mean, who hasn't been there, right? And War Hall: A Theatre of the Mind sounds like an amazing way to explore history - I love how they're using science and storytelling together to bring it all to life ๐ŸŽฅ.

But what really caught my attention is Simi Jolaoso's World of Secrets podcast. As someone who's been following online scams for a while, it's shocking to see just how much money these scammers are raking in ๐Ÿ’ธ. It's like, we need to be more vigilant and support each other to avoid getting taken advantage of ๐Ÿค.

All in all, this lineup is giving me so many new shows to check out ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ‘!
 
I donโ€™t usually comment but I think itโ€™s so cool that there's a whole range of podcasts out there exploring different topics ๐Ÿคฏ. Like, I love Adam Buxton as a comedian but hearing him chat with Brian Badonde from the Fonejacker days is just too funny ๐Ÿ˜‚. And I'm really intrigued by Dani Shapiro's podcast Family Secrets - it's so easy to get caught up in our own little worlds and forget about everyone else's struggles ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ. Shvorne Marks hosting How to Be an Actor and Not Lose Your S**t sounds like a total game-changer though, I mean who wouldn't want some guidance on surviving the acting world? ๐ŸŽญ The BBC's World of Secrets podcast is super important too - those scammers are just awful ๐Ÿ’”. War Hall: A Theatre of the Mind sounds like a wild ride, I'm definitely gonna have to give that one a listen ๐Ÿ“š
 
This podcast stuff is getting out of hand lol ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ“ป. Like what's next? Podcasts on podcasts? ๐Ÿคฏ But I gotta give props to these hosts, they're really tackling some heavy topics like identity, scams, and mental health. It's great to see creators using their platforms for good. ๐Ÿ’– Also, Shvorne Marks sounds like a total boss as an actor and host combo ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
 
๐Ÿคฃ I'm loving the podcast lineups lately! It's so refreshing to see different styles and formats all mixed together. Fonejacker's Kayvan Novak as Brian Badonde sounds like a riot, and Adam Buxton's involvement is always a win ๐ŸŽ‰. Meanwhile, Dani Shapiro's Family Secrets podcast is really hitting home with people sharing their vulnerable stories about identity... it's not easy being open about your heritage, especially when there are so many misconceptions floating around ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ.

And I'm intrigued by that new World of Secrets episode on online scams targeting sick kids and their families. It's a topic that needs way more awareness and action. I'm also stoked to see actress Shvorne Marks hosting her own podcast, she sounds like an amazing host ๐Ÿ’–. War Hall: A Theatre of the Mind sounds like a super immersive experience too... never been to Walthamstow Assembly Hall, but now it's on my bucket list ๐Ÿ“š๐ŸŽญ
 
I just saw this and thought it was so cool that there's a podcast all about family secrets I've been listening to Family Secrets with Dani Shapiro and it's giving me lots to think about, especially after my own family did something similar when I was younger... I'm still not sure how much to share but it's nice to see someone else sharing their story and getting the reaction they deserve ๐Ÿ˜Š. And I'm curious to check out War Hall: A Theatre of the Mind, never been to Walthamstow Assembly Hall but my grandma went there when she was a kid so maybe it'll bring back some memories ๐Ÿ‘
 
I'm so over how we're still dealing with online scams targeting vulnerable people ๐Ÿคฏ it's just not right that they can make a fortune off these sick children and families. We need to do more to protect them and hold these scammers accountable ๐Ÿ’ธ the BBC is doing some great work on this podcast, but we should be pushing for even more action from our politicians and law enforcement ๐Ÿ”’
 
I'm still waiting for any of these podcasts to actually deliver on their promises... like Adam Buxton's interview with Brian Badonde is gonna be more than just a bunch of laughs ๐Ÿ˜‚, or Ella Eyre's reflections are gonna be anything but shallow ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ. And don't even get me started on the "shocking" story about Arab heritage being shared on Dani Shapiro's podcast... I'm sure it's not just another case of someone trying to be edgy ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. The BBC's World of Secrets podcast better bring some real investigative journalism, or it'll just be another clickbait piece ๐Ÿ“ฐ. And War Hall: A Theatre of the Mind sounds like a snooze fest... I mean, how engaging can a 2-hour history lesson really be? ๐Ÿ˜ด
 
I'm loving this podcast series right now ๐Ÿคฉ. Adam Buxton's humor is always a winner, but I gotta say, Ella Eyre's reactions to Badonde's malapropisms are giving me life ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŽง. And have you seen Dani Shapiro's latest episodes? The way she digs into family secrets is so raw and honest... it's like we're all sitting in the room together sharing our own stories ๐Ÿคซ. But what really got my attention was Simi Jolaoso's investigation on online scams targeting sick kids ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‘€ - we need more stories like this, you know? It's making me think about how vulnerable we are as a society and the importance of holding those in power accountable ๐Ÿ’ช.
 
๐Ÿค” I mean, I'm not sure if I agree that revisiting a old persona from years ago is still relevant... ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Like, don't get me wrong, it's great that Adam Buxton and Ella Eyre are involved, but I think Brian Badonde should've just left the character dead in the water. It feels like nostalgia over actual substance. ๐Ÿ˜

On a more positive note, though, Dani Shapiro's podcast Family Secrets is really important. Like, we need to talk about these secrets and how they impact people's lives... ๐Ÿค But at the same time, I'm not sure if sharing your own story of hiding who you are is necessarily the best way to do that... ๐Ÿ’ญ It's a delicate balance, you know?
 
๐Ÿค” just listened to that War Hall podcast & I'm loving the sound design ๐ŸŽง! History can be so dry, but this one is actually engaging... as long as you don't mind a few historical inaccuracies ๐Ÿ˜…. Anyway, it's great to see people sharing their experiences about identity & family dynamics on Dani Shapiro's Family Secrets - really makes you think ๐Ÿ’ญ. And Adam Buxton's comedy style is just what I needed for a laugh ๐Ÿคฃ. But seriously, online scams targeting sick children? That's just heartbreaking ๐Ÿ˜”. Glad the BBC is tackling this heavy subject to raise awareness ๐Ÿ™.
 
๐Ÿค” I'm loving the variety of podcast series out there right now! It's awesome that we've got shows tackling everything from music critiques ๐ŸŽต to personal identity struggles ๐Ÿ’ญ, and even online scams targeting vulnerable families ๐Ÿ‘ช. It's a great reminder that media has the power to spark important conversations and raise awareness about pressing issues.

I'm also excited to check out some new hosts like Shvorne Marks on How to Be an Actor and Not Lose Your S**t ๐Ÿคฃ โ€“ her experience as an actor could bring some much-needed authenticity to the show. And Simi Jolaoso's investigative work on World of Secrets sounds incredibly important, shedding light on a dark topic that needs more attention. ๐Ÿ‘
 
omg have you listened to those new podcasts? like I know they're all so good but War Hall: A Theatre of the Mind is literally fascinating ๐Ÿคฉ I mean, who knew Walthamstow Assembly Hall had such a rich history?! And the way they combined science of sound with storytelling was pure genius ๐Ÿ’ก
 
idk about these podcasts ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ... all good i guess but honestly the ones that stand out are the ones that tackle some serious issues like online scams targeting kids & families ๐Ÿšจ it's crazy how people can take advantage of others for financial gain... i mean war hall sounds interesting tho ๐Ÿ‘€ maybe someone who's into history or theatre would enjoy it
 
Man... podcast world is gettin' crazy! ๐Ÿคฃ I love that Fonejacker's Kayvan Novak is revisiting his Brian Badonde character, it's like he's back in his old art critic days ๐Ÿ˜‚. And Adam Buxton's always good for a laugh, gotta tune in to see what kind of trouble they get into with Badonde's... erm... "interesting" language ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

But you know who I'm really excited about? Dani Shapiro's Family Secrets podcast! ๐Ÿ‘€ Her guests are sharing some serious heavy stuff, it's like no one's talking about these issues enough. I mean, concealing Arab heritage after 9/11? That's some crazy stuff ๐Ÿคฏ. We need to be having these conversations, you know?

And have you seen the cast of How to Be an Actor and Not Lose Your S**t? Shvorne Marks is my girl, she's got a great energy and I love that she's talking about her own struggles in the industry ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ. And Pearl Mackie and Stacey Dooley are always good for some juicy stories ๐Ÿคซ.

BBC's World of Secrets podcast is like the ultimate investigative journalism ๐Ÿ’ก, they're really exposing these online scams and it's just... ugh, people can be so disgusting ๐Ÿ˜ท. But Simi Jolaoso is a hero for tackling this stuff head-on.

And finally, War Hall: A Theatre of the Mind sounds like an amazing history lesson ๐ŸŽง! I'm all about immersive experiences, especially when they're hosted by legends like Angela Allen and John Thomas ๐Ÿ‘. It's gonna be a wild ride through Walthamstow Assembly Hall, can't wait to give it a listen! ๐Ÿ“ป
