Alan Carr tries to become a wine connoisseur: best podcasts of the week

Alan Carr's foray into the world of wine has raised a few eyebrows, with the comedian pairing up with Lee Peart to tackle the finer points of oenology on his new podcast. The dynamic duo tackles topics ranging from wine tastings to reader dilemmas, but it's their banter that truly shines – including Carr's witty response when Peart tries to guilt-trip him into drinking white wine.

Meanwhile, fans of the hit podcast "The Girlfriends" are in for a serious dose of real-life drama this week. The show has taken a dark and serious turn, focusing on the case of Roger Golubski, a Kansas police detective who used his position to abuse Black women and target their families. It's a gut-wrenching look at the consequences of power and privilege.

On the lighter side, musician Kathleen Hanna is back with her interview show "Music Makes Us", where she dishing out the tea alongside her A-list guests. This week, she sits down with Hayley Williams from Paramore to chat about everything from Parliament to Fontaines DC.

For a taste of something more classic, fans of Charles Dickens will love this latest episode of "Charles Dickens' Ghost Stories with David Suchet". The beloved actor brings the master's spine-tingling tales to life, including the haunting story behind The Signalman and A Christmas Carol.

Lastly, "The Bomb" has dropped a fascinating new episode that delves into one of history's most treacherous moments – the Cuban missile crisis. Told through the eyes of its two protagonists' descendants, this gripping look at what could have been is not to be missed.
 
idk why ppl r so hyped about alan carr getting into wine 🤔... i mean, he's funny and all but oenology? sounds like a snooze fest 2 me 😴. dont get me wrong, i love the podcast format but im not sold on this combo just yet 👎
 
🤔 I'm loving how the podcasts are getting more diverse and deep lately. Alan Carr's banter with Lee Peart sounds hilarious, but I'm also intrigued by The Girlfriends' dark turn – it's like they're really digging into some heavy stuff this week 📊 The way they structure their episodes is always so on point, too...I mean, the transitions between topics are seamless 🎧 And have you noticed how Kathleen Hanna's "Music Makes Us" is all about exploring different vibes? Like, she really dives deep into her guests' stories 🎶
 
I'm loving Alan Carr's foray into wine 🍷👏! He and Lee Peart are absolute comedic gold - I mean who else can make a podcast about wine tastings sound like a fun game of 'Would you rather'? And let's be real, that burn when Peart tries to guilt trip him into drinking white wine was pure perfection 😂. But on a more serious note, I'm so excited for fans of "The Girlfriends" - tackling tough topics like power and privilege takes courage, especially when it comes to bringing attention to cases like Roger Golubski's. 💔
 
I'm low-key intrigued by Alan Carr's wine podcast 🍷👀 I mean, who knew he had such a dry wit about oenology? And can't wait to dive into the latest episode of "The Girlfriends" – that topic sounds super uncomfortable but super important 💔. Also, Hayley Williams' interview with Kathleen Hanna is gonna be SO much tea ☕👀
 
omg did u know that pizza delivery guys are like the unsung heroes of our time 🍕👏 i mean think about it they gotta deal with crazy customers all day every day and still manage to bring us our fave pie on time what's not to love?
 
🤔 I'm so over these podcast crossovers! Can't they just stick to one thing? Like, Alan Carr's comedy skills are perfect for his own show, why mess with it by pairing up with someone from a completely different field like Lee Peart? 🤷‍♂️ It feels like they're trying too hard to be relevant and it's just coming off as forced. 💔 And on the other hand, I'm loving the darker episodes of "The Girlfriends" though - it's about time we talk more about real-life drama and not just watered-down pop culture stuff 🤘
 
Omg I'm loving Alan Carr's new podcast with Lee Peart so much! 🤣😂 The banter between them is literally killing me every time they go back and forth about wine lol. But on a more serious note, the recent episode of "The Girlfriends" tackling Roger Golubski's case is giving me all the feels... it's so important we keep bringing these stories to light and holding people in power accountable 💪🏽🔥. And can we talk about Kathleen Hanna's interview show? 🤩 Hayley Williams just spilt all the tea on her new episode and I am HERE for it! 👀💬 Also, Charles Dickens' Ghost Stories with David Suchet is still my fave 😍 and that Cuban missile crisis episode from "The Bomb" dropped is giving me all the feels again... history is so wild 🤯📚
 
I'm not sure what's more surprising, Alan Carr teaming up with Lee Peart for a wine podcast or Kathleen Hanna getting to dish out tea on her interview show 🍷👀. But in all seriousness, it sounds like there's some really powerful and thought-provoking content coming out this week - the dark turn of "The Girlfriends" is definitely giving me some serious pause 😬. And I'm always down for a good dose of history, so that new episode on the Cuban missile crisis looks like right up my alley 🕰️.
 
🍷😏 "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance." 🙅‍♂️
 
OMG u guys I'm so down for Alan Carr and Lee Peart's new wine podcast 🍷👥 it sounds like so much fun!!! And I need to get a listen to the latest ep of Charles Dickens' Ghost Stories with David Suchet, his voice is just 😍 but also seriously dark rn... The Bomb's ep on the Cuban missile crisis though? Like we all know how close we came to war 🌎😨 what if it had gone down differently?? so many questions!
 
🤔 I'm loving how these podcasts are tackling some heavy topics like power abuse and privilege 🚨. But let's get real, can't we say the same thing about how the wine industry is stereotyping white wine as the 'correct' choice? 😏 It's time to challenge those expectations and give some love to other types of wine too! 💜 And while Alan Carr and Lee Peart are having fun on their podcast, I wonder if they're even addressing the systemic inequalities that allow people like Roger Golubski to abuse their power in the first place 🤝.
