I found a thing that the more gruesome a murder is,

this is true of all of them, the quicker I fall asleep.

This odd thing happens where I find it's so relaxed.

It's like, oh my God, that is ghastly.

They found a leg in a bin.

It just sends me something happens, but it just makes you feel so relaxed.

And then I go to sleep.

Hello, and welcome to the podcast Castaway.

A podcast about podcasts.

Across between a goggle box and desert island discs of podcasts.

I'm Laura Whitmore, broadcaster, performer, chancer and podcast lover.

I've been on a mission to get my next fix of podcast recommendations.

Every week I'll be talking about all things podcasts, but people who love podcasts, many of whom have podcasts themselves.

Many times can I say podcasts in one sentence?

I reckon a few more.

So whether you're looking for podcasts about mental health or comedy, love, crime, or your next fictional series to binge listen to, my guests have got you covered.

You may also be surprised by what some folk are listening to.

And from that, a springboard into some really interesting discussions. Welcome

to Castaway. Hello, if you've listened to the podcast before, welcome back. And if it's

your first time, just welcome. We're over halfway through the first

series and just want to take a moment to thank you for your support so far. I was thinking,

if you have suggestions of podcasts we haven't discussed yet, please do mention them in the comments
