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.

Return of the flat cap...

Peaky Blinders is back for its fifth season, with an explosive opening episode that has everybody at home glued to their sofas once more. Ahead of the series' return, we took a look back at past episodes (all available on Netflix!), and paired them with the brilliant podcast, Obsessed With... Peaky Blinders.

Host Laurence Mozafari chats to some of the big names behind the show, including creator Steven Knight and director Colm McCarthy, to get some behind-the-scenes info we'd never have known without the podcast.

There are four episodes, each covering a season of the show with a different guest, and for those of you who love other high-intensity dramas, then there are also Obsessed With... Killing Eve, and Obsessed With... Line of Duty to tide you over!

One of my favourite things about watching television, is discussing it with friends when it's all said and done. That's the sort of experience you get from Obsessed With... - you might not be able to actually communicate with the people on the podcast, but they immediately put their listeners at ease with quick chemistry.

Where can I stream the podcast?

Available on BBC SoundsApple Podcasts and Spotify for free, there's no reason not to indulge! Get listening and let us know what you think!
