Sleaford Mods' metal detecting adventure may have been a bit of a misfire, but that's not to say it didn't offer a unique experience. The offbeat interview show 'Do I Detect a Problem?' pairs unlikely guests with a spot of metal detecting and some intimate conversation, à la "What's one piece of gold you've found in your life?" Unfortunately for the producers, this setup translates more effectively as a visual podcast than an audio-only format.
On a brighter note, Phil Collins' latest profile series is shaping up to be a fascinating exploration of his meteoric rise to fame. The BBC Sounds exclusive takes listeners on a journey through Collins' tour days with Peter Gabriel, dressed in elaborate outfits, and even features interviews with those who've worked closely with him, including the man who performed his iconic solo hit while dressed as a gorilla – yes, you read that right.
Meanwhile, Dr Ruja Ignatova's enigmatic podcast is back for another series, this time focusing on the events surrounding Putin's rise to power in Russia. The team claims they've finally got their best lead in years, but will it be enough to crack the case of the elusive Cryptoqueen?
History enthusiasts won't want to miss 'The History Bureau,' a thought-provoking look at an infamous event that has sparked intense debate – four bombs killing over 300 people weeks into Putin's leadership. Journalists speaking out about alternative theories might just shed some new light on this pivotal moment.
If you're looking for something lighthearted, Ant and Dec are set to bring their signature banter to 'Hanging Out With Ant and Dec,' a loose and hilarious podcast that promises to feel like hanging out with friends. And finally, fans of surreal comedy won't want to miss the latest installment of 'The Harry Hill Show.'

I mean, it's just so cool how some old-school legends like Phil Collins are still killing it in the music industry. I'm also intrigued by Dr Ruja Ignatova's new podcast series - all these cryptic clues about Putin's rise to power are giving me major Sherlock vibes! 
. I mean, I love a good chat as much as the next person, but pairing metal detecting with an interview? It's a bit of a weird combo for me. On the other hand, Phil Collins' profile series is looking super interesting - I've always been a fan of his music and it'll be cool to see him talk about his experiences. And then there's Dr Ruja Ignatova's podcast which is like a real-life mystery novel 
also, Phil Collins as a gorilla sounds kinda wild 
I wonder if he still wears those outfits on stage... 
does anyone know how he gets his hair to do that fancy stuff? 
.
And if you're feeling down, The Harry Hill Show might just lift your spirits. History buffs, though, will wanna dive into that Putin doc - I'm intrigued! 
! You know what's crazy? Phil Collins' old tour days were like something out of a movie - can you imagine seeing Peter Gabriel in all that fancy dress? 
, our brains are wired to respond better to sights and sounds rather than just one or the other. It's like, remember that time I was on a train and someone next to me fell asleep - the sound of their snores is way more memorable than what they were doing at that exact moment 
... but now with podcasts we're stuck in this audio-only format, it's almost like our brains are getting left behind 
. I mean, it's just not my thing. Sleaford Mods were great, but even that was more entertaining as a live show than this podcast format 
. On the other hand, Phil Collins' doc sounds like a wild ride – who knew he dressed up in all those outfits on tour? 
.
. But hey, if you're into that sort of thing, go for it! And Ant and Dec sound like they'll bring the laughs in their new podcast 
. Can't wait to tune in 
I mean, I've heard that nickname before but I never thought it was real... does she have some evidence to back up her claims? 
And what makes this latest series so special? Is there something new they've found out about Putin's rise to power? 
to perform his solo hit. The idea just seems so extra. Meanwhile, I do think Dr Ruja Ignatova's podcast is getting some serious attention for its investigation into Putin's rise to power – fingers crossed they get that lead right this time 
... I love how they're digging into his tour days with Peter Gabriel and other behind-the-scenes stories! And Dr Ruja Ignatova's Cryptoqueen podcast is always good for some wild conspiracy theories 
... let's hope they crack the case this time around! 
. On a totally different note, have you guys seen Ant and Dec's old chat show?
