Four seasons, over 30 incredible guests, hundreds of podcast recommendations.

I'm your host Laura Whitmore, and in this special series of castaway, we'll bring you the best bits from our back catalogue, sharing those golden castaway moments

and throwing in those bingeable podcast picks we're all hungry for along the way.

Welcome to Castaway, the best bits.

Hello, hello.

If you're here for this special series of Castaway, you've passed the test.

You're a podcast obsessive.

But I'd like to reassure you that you're in safe hands as I too am a podcastaholic.

I'm so pleased to hear that, Laura, because I feel like I am an Alec Baldwin podcast
