Podcast of the Week: I Secretly Recorded My Boyfriend

by Daniel Falconer | 19 August 2019

We can’t get enough of podcasts here at Female First. That’s why every week, we're showcasing one of our favourites so you can go and listen, and enjoy them too!

The great thing about podcasts is how simple they are to consume – you could be driving, cooking, working out – they require no visual engagement. All you need is a handy device to listen on, and you can go about your daily life listening to whatever you like.

From crime to comedy, history to health, there’s something for everyone in the wonderful world of audio programmes.

An invasion of privacy...

This week, we came across one of the most insightful and shocking podcasts we've ever had the chance of listening to - and there are currently a full 49 episodes to wrap your head around! I Secretly Recorded My Boyfriend is hosted by Jo; a woman who did exactly what she says in the show's title, and each episode allows audiences to go behind-the-scenes and explore her relationship with her boyfriend.

Often leaving his foot in his mouth, it's a hilarious and honest look at how one man and woman coordinate their friendship, romantic connection, and wider life in general.

When you can find yourself relating on many levels to the people you're listening to in a podcast, you know you're onto a winner. That's when podcasts truly work. When you can see yourself, or people you know, in the stories being told.

With episode titles such as "How heavy are your breasts?" and "He's not going to have an affair with you.", it's obvious you'll have a great time listening. So indulge, and get to know Jo and her partner!
