The show directory

Three tiers, judged on curiosity and preparation rather than download counts.

Heavyweights

National-broadcaster reach, no commissioning committee.

Three hours, no agenda, occasionally consequential.

Confrontation as a format. Loud, but he does the reading.

Business confessional with unusually good prep.

Political long-form with a very clear point of view.

Where the craft actually lives.

Two historians, genuine expertise, better jokes than expected.

Science-adjacent argument. Bring your own scepticism.

Confessional interviewing that gets answers nobody else does.

Small audiences, video-first, occasionally brilliant.

Regional voices doing Parkinson on a £200 budget.

One subject, one obsessive, two hours.

Built for YouTube first, audio second.
