Esteemed comedy academic Dr Oliver Double has launched a new podcast. Each episode features a long-form interview with a comedian in which they discuss their craft, their unique contribution to the stand-up scene and the joys and challenges of their comedy careers.

Interviewees so far include Charmian Hughes, who talks about her ever-evolving career from the 1980s to today and Ray Campbell, who discusses his experience of performing political stand-up and talks about racism and sexism in the comedy world. 

Now entering its sixth year, the British Podcast Awards has a history of highlighting the true breadth of UK podcasting. Previous big winners have included George the Poet, Chris and Rosie Ramsey, David Walliams, Deborah Frances-White and Greg James with podcasts ranging from My Dad Wrote A Porno and Dear Joan and Jericha to Brown Girls Do It Too and The Guardian’s Today in Focus. 

The sixth annual London Podcast Festival is back at the UK’s home of live podcasting, Kings Place London, from 2 - 12 September.
