The Louis Theroux Podcast
Spotify, episodes weekly from 6 Jun
Louis Theroux’s lockdown venture into podcasting was a big hit for the BBC. Not much has changed in his new Spotify show – it’s still a charming, personal attempt to get to the essence of celebrity guests. For his first episode, it’s a slightly naffer choice of guest than you might expect – Shania Twain. They talk divorce and medical mishaps, but the real highlight is a revelation near the start: Theroux’s a big fan of Man! I Feel Like a Woman! Alexi Duggins
