Pod Roast

Scathing weekly podcast review show launched by Podcast Radio, written and hosted by the broadcaster who lambasted a trailer for the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex podcast. John spent 23 years in the BBC running stations in Northampton, Leeds and Manchester - while the Pod Roast is part of Podcast Radio’s Original (PRO-Shows) programming. Each week John Ryan’s Pod Roast will review two or three popular mainstream podcasts produced by the big production companies. The episode first airs at midday (GMT) each Friday on Podcast Radio - and then here as a podcast!
