What is a ‘zombie vibe’? And what does it mean when it crops up on your Carribbean-bound cruise ship? The Derry Girls star tells all, while Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty digs deep into allegations against Kanye West
For this spin-off of the BBC World Service’s unusual life stories series, Derry Girls and Amandaland actor Siobhán McSweeney narrates the tale of a crew who found themselves confined to a Caribbean-bound cargo ship during the Covid pandemic in 2020. It takes a little while to warm up but, once it gets going, the tale of ship cook Giulia and the “zombie vibe” that she encountered at sea becomes increasingly surreal. Hannah J Davies

There’s a strong chance that this podcast will sound a little familiar. Not only is it from the team behind Who Shat on the Floor at My Wedding, it kicks off with another faecal felony. If you could stomach that show and its low-stakes investigations, you’ll love this speedier version, AKA “part detective show, part gameshow, part panicky race”. HJD
