Maisie Adam and Scott Bryan talk comically and sensitively to people who found sudden tabloid and early internet fame in the 00s. Plus, Norse myths and history with Iain Glen from Game of Thrones
It’s all too easy to sneer at pop culture’s also-rans. This series from comic Maisie Adam and journalist Scott Bryan does the opposite, embracing people who found sudden fame – mostly in the 90s and 00s – and telling their stories with humour and care. Guests include Liberty X’s Kelli Young, who thinks she and her bandmates were seen as “too R&B” to win ITV’s Popstars – and is surprisingly grateful to the funk band who sued them. Hannah J Davies

A potentially provocative podcast concept: Nicky Campbell uses his decades spent hosting radio debates to explore how we navigate the grey areas of culture wars, identity politics and “cancellation”. Guests help tackle subjects with nuance, such as when people ask “Where are you really from?”. Hollie Richardson
