Wild new podcast alert! It’s just been revealed that the devious stars from reality smash hit The Traitors UK are getting their own series – and it’s a bit out there. Paul Gorton and Harry Clark are launching a show seemingly designed to prove that it’s not just reality TV contestants they can outsmart, by taking a look at “the biggest failed crimes in history” and telling us the right way to have tackled them.

While we wait for that, there are plenty of other great shows to listen to. Read on for a guide to the best podcasts about clubbing, as well as a rundown of shows that range from chart-topping musicians leading walking tours of the locations that inspired them, to an exposé of a US national scandal. They’re joined by Stacey Dooley’s look at celebrity court cases, which differs from Gorton and Clark’s show in one disappointing respect: it doesn’t feature her explaining how she would have executed the crimes.
