The Listen is a weekly conversation between friends and colleagues, Abi Gibson and Charlie Perry, who share their observations and overanalysis of pop culture, current affairs, and their own lives. Think of it as a nostalgic, glossy magazine but a lot less toxic and with a lot more intellect.

Founder of Astrid Productions, Charlie, and Senior Producer, Abi, have been producing your favourite podcasts for years but now they’re in front of the mic. Each week they gather three stories to keep you in the know about the things that matter and crucially... the things that don’t.

Join polar opposites Kath & Aimee as they confess all as two Broadcasters, mum's, wives & carers, sharing with you how they are surviving this thing called life. We're all in this together right?

In our podcast we're challenging the perception social media throws at us of perfection, which is, frankly, impossible to attain. We are saying its OK to mess up! We make mistakes... constantly... and are nowhere near perfect. Let's embrace our imperfections, celebrate together life's mishaps and as you laugh at us or with us (who cares which) you can marvel at how we've managed unsupervised so far.

Part game show and part chat show. Your host, London Welsh comedian Vix Leyton, holds an ever-changing numbered list of 30 possible subjects - from everyday to current affairs - and invites three comics to compete to take the mic with stories, anecdotes, jokes or even songs, like a parlour game at the best fantasy dinner party you could ever imagine.

The game - fun.

The rules - highly convoluted.

The laughs - constant.
