I'm looking for some half decent podcasts to listen to. The Now Show from BBC Radio 4 rocks, but the series is over, and I can't find anything similar that I fancy.

I'm kind of looking for humorous current affair podcasts, the best way to descibe it is 'Have I got news for you' as a podcast. I'm only really interested in UK podcasts, as I'd probably be out of my depth with foreign ones e.g. I'd have no idea about who individual congressmen are.

All help is appreciatted

    The only thing I can think of that sounds like what you want would be "Wait! Wait! Don't tell me..." from NPR. The only problem would be that it is more related to U.S. news, but it does cover some international news as well. You might listen to one podcast to see if it is the kind of thing you're looking for.

    Wait Wait Don't Tell me has a podcast? I'm rarely listening to the radio when it's on so I don't catch it very often.

    Knowing this makes my life better, thanks.

    Wait! Wait! is hilarious, my second favorite podcast after This American Life. No idea on good U.K. podcast.
