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

Alan Carr's foray into the world of wine has brought some much-needed levity to his latest podcast show, a lively companion to "Bottoms Up." In this debut episode with comedian Lee Peart, Carr's quick wit and banter take center stage. The two pair up for tastings, tackle reader dilemmas, and answer questions from wine expert Tom Gilbey, but it's their lighthearted exchange that steals the show.

When Peart suggests he wants to get Carr back on "white" – a clear reference to his favorite type of wine – Carr playfully takes offense. "You could have told me this off camera... I didn't know this was Relate!" he quips, making for an entertaining and relatable conversation.

For those interested in true crime podcasts, "The Girlfriends: Untouchable" continues its gripping narrative about women who survived the abuse of Roger Golubski, a Kansas police detective with a dark history. The podcast has evolved from its initial focus on the original group to explore the struggles faced by Black women and their families.

Music enthusiasts will enjoy Kathleen Hanna's new podcast "Music Makes Us," which delves into the lives and careers of influential musicians. In the first episode, Hanna interviews Paramore's Hayley Williams about her musical influences and experiences in the music industry.

Fans of classic literature won't want to miss "Charles Dickens' Ghost Stories with David Suchet." The actor narrates seven spine-tingling tales from Dickens' canon, including "The Signalman" and "A Christmas Carol."

Finally, those interested in historical drama will appreciate "The Bomb," a gripping BBC Sounds podcast that charts the events leading up to the Cuban missile crisis. This episode is presented by descendants of its key protagonists, adding an intimate perspective to this pivotal moment in history.

All four podcasts offer fresh takes on their respective topics and showcase talented hosts who bring enthusiasm and expertise to their shows.
 
I'm not sure if I love or hate that Alan Carr's podcast show "Bottoms Up" is giving me wine and laughter, but at the same time, it's kinda freaking me out how comfortable he is with being roasted on air 🀣🍷. Like, I get it, he's funny and all, but also a bit too quick to take offense, you know? And what's up with Lee Peart trying to get him back on "white" wine? Is that some kind of inside joke or something? πŸ€”πŸ˜‚
 
omg i'm so down for a wine tasting session with alan carr 🍷🀣 his podcast 'bottoms up' just got a whole lot more interesting! and can we talk about lee peart's cameo? i love how the banter is always on point πŸ’β€β™€οΈ i've also been binging "the girlfriends: untouchable" - it's so hauntingly good 🀯 kathleen hanna's new podcast "music makes us" sounds like a dream come true for music lovers 🎡 and david suchet narrating charles dickens' ghost stories is giving me all the spooky feels πŸ‘» what about 'the bomb'? have anyone listened to it yet? πŸš€
 
omg i just listened to alan carr's podcast with lee peart 🀣 the banter between them is everything! Carr's got some great one-liners, especially when he's roasting Peart about his wine preferences πŸ˜‚ i also love how they keep it lighthearted and relatable - it's so refreshing to hear comedians using their wit for good rather than just mocking each other. anyway, can't wait to dive into the other podcasts mentioned here, "The Girlfriends: Untouchable" sounds really thought-provoking 🀯
 
You know when you're stuck in a conversation or an argument with someone and it's just not going anywhere? πŸ€” Like, you're both being super polite but you're basically both thinking "oh great, this is never gonna end"? πŸ˜’ Well that's kinda what happened here, I guess. Alan Carr and Lee Peart just kept going back and forth on the wine thing (which is actually pretty cool) but it made me think... why can't we have fun conversations without all the ego? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Like, wouldn't it be great if people could just relax and enjoy each other's company, even when they disagree? πŸ’¬ I mean don't get me wrong, having someone to play devil's advocate with is important too, but sometimes you just gotta let go of the need to "win" the conversation. 🀯
 
Ugh, I mean... i'm so over podcasts but Alan Carr's latest one is actually pretty funny 🀣. I love how he and Lee Peart are just riffing off each other, it's like a witty banter party πŸŽ‰. And can we talk about Kathleen Hanna's new podcast "Music Makes Us"? She's literally the queen of punk rock and Paramore is like my fave band ever! 🀘 I'm all ears for more episodes about Hayley Williams' life and music.
 
Omg πŸ‘€πŸ· I'm lovin' the wine vibes πŸ’« from Alan Carr's podcast "Bottoms Up" πŸŽ‰! His quick wit with Lee Peart is straight fire πŸ”₯, but what really has me entertained πŸ˜‚ is when Carr teases Peart about his fave wine type. That quip about Relate? πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ I'm dead!

Meanwhile, I'm also super stoked 🀩 for all the other podcasts out there! "The Girlfriends: Untouchable" is giving me major chills πŸ’€, and Hayley Williams' convo with Kathleen Hanna in "Music Makes Us" is so on point πŸ”Š! And can we talk about David Suchet's narration skills? πŸ˜πŸ“š He's bringing classic literature to life!

Lastly, I'm fascinated πŸ€” by "The Bomb" podcast – it's amazing how much depth and history you can learn from a BBC Sounds episode πŸ‘‚. It's like a time capsule that brings the past to life! πŸ’₯
