Podcasts

We’ve made a wide range of podcasts covering science, literature, culture and more. Some are ongoing, some are on hiatius, some were limited series, but you can check out all new and past episodes by searching for them on your favourite podcast app.

Shambles podcasts are available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Soundcloud, RSS, Podbean and most other platforms.

Historically, we’ve had multiple podcast feeds for all our shows which you can find below, but as we’ve been working on so many big live events, documentaries and our epic docuseires, For the Record: An Incomplete History of Music, we’ve not been doing a regular podcast.

So from 2026 all Shambles new podcast episodes will appear on The Incomplete Shambles Podcast (the same feed as the old Science Shambles podcast so if you’re already subscribed there you don’t need to do anything) so you only need to subscribe to that. All the live panels from Latitude festivals, future pop up Book Shambles, special one off conversations about raging topics in science and culture, and all with all the Shambles folks you love like Robin Ince, Helen Czerski, Chris Jackson, Clara Nellist, Reece Shersmith, Suze Kundu, Josie Long and more.
