It’s a varied week for food on podcasts this week. While, on the one hand, Comfort Eating returns to let David Baddiel hunger-inducingly talk Grace Dent through the virtues of a bacon-and-egg sandwich, on the other, there’s a show that tries to solve one of Hollywood’s greatest lunch-based mysteries: who spiked the chowder on the set of James Cameron’s Titanic with PCP? At least one of those meals sounds like a delicious prospect.
Elsewhere, we take a look at Frankie Boyle’s outspoken new series with two of his Glaswegian comedy pals, a riotous dive into the Daily Mail’s comments section, and the posthumous podcast from director Peter Bogdanovich. Plus, there’s a rounup of five of the best occult podcasts. Plenty to tuck into, then.
