HISTORY

Battles of the First World War Podcast

The Battles of the First World War Podcast goes in-depth into the battles of the Great War of 1914-1918. The goal is to really go into the details of how and why these battles unfolded and happened as they did. In telling the narrative of these clashes we can revisit some of the stories of the men and women who lived, fought, and died during the first titanic struggle of the 20th Century, for these people have stories that deserve to be told.

TRUE CRIME

Someone’s Hunting Us

In 2016, a serial killer was preying on Black women and girls he thought no one would miss — and getting away with it. Police in New Jersey never suspected that Khalil Wheeler-Weaver, a nerdy-looking, polite young man from a law enforcement family, was the one stalking the streets and dating apps for his next target.

The journalists behind “Father Wants Us Dead” — called one of the best true crime podcasts of all time by Entertainment Weekly — bring you a deeply-reported true crime story of a serial killer hiding in plain sight and the women who took him down.

SOCIETY & CULTURE

Big Lives

Every legend has a twist. From pop culture icons to music and comedy greats, award-winning journalists Kai Wright and Emmanuel Dzotsi dig into the BBC archive to unpick the story behind the icons who shape our culture.

Each week on Big Lives, Kai and Emmanuel take an iconic figure — from musical trailblazers like David Bowie, Amy Winehouse and Tina Turner to stars of the screen like Richard Pryor, Meg Ryan and Jane Fonda — and dissect their lives. Join them as they see these icons in a new light, uncover deep cuts from the BBC's archive, and learn how each legend set the stage for our contemporary cultural landscape. After all, you can't understand today's culture until you understand the icons who built it. Smart, curious, and full of heart.

DOCUMENTARY

Artifacts: Stories from the Emotional History of the Internet

Artifacts is a storytelling podcast about the forgotten things that still shape us. From dead platforms and failed consoles to burned CDs, AIM away messages, movie rental stores, and the weird early internet, each episode explores the emotional connection we still have to the technology, media, and cultural moments we thought we’d left behind.

But this isn’t just nostalgia. It’s about memory. Creativity. Identity. Community. And why some artifacts from the past still feel more human than the polished digital world we live in today. Hosted by award-winning podcaster Danny Brown, Artifacts blends internet culture, personal storytelling, and reflective cultural analysis into a show about the feelings we attach to the things we carry with us. Because sometimes the objects fade. But the feeling doesn’t.
