Shrink the Box rises from the dead for a second season

Deathlings – let me tell you about ‘Shrink the Box’ – it’s a dead good podcast where big acting God Ben Bailey Smith and Goddess psychotherapist Nemone Metaxas put their favourite fictional characters, such as Tommy from Peaky Blinders and Sydney from The Bear on the therapist’s coffin throne couch. They analyse why their behaviour causes them so much drama. Think of it like them being judged at the pearly gates – but only on a sofa and for all of us to hear. Such fun!    Nemone and Ben explore why these characters make certain decisions, what would happen if they made different ones and how you can avoid going to hell from their mistakes. The perfect combination of psychology, self-help and the best TV since the death of the DVD box-set. Listen Now.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Introducing... Please Tell Me A Story

There’s another great comedy podcast from Somethin Else… Omid tells his story to Abi. Abi tells Omid’s story to Sean, then Sean to Kai, Kai to Sikisa and Sikisa to Helen… each time with hilarious misrememberings, improvisations, stumbles, fumbles and laughs. Six comedians have a funny story to tell. Can they pass the story along the chain without completely twisting the tale? But this isn’t like the game you play at school where you only whisper short sentences. Each episode is a complete, beautifully written story, with each retelling getting funnier (and weirder!) as it passes on. And boy, does season one of Please Tell Me A Story feature an all star comedy cast: Omid Djalili, Abi Clarke, Seán Burke, Kai Samra, Sikisa, and Helen Bauer. Join them as the story gets weird…https://listen.sonymusic-podcasts.link/qxhC1Drl A Somethin’ Else & Sony Music Entertainment production.
