Two women, no boundaries and no rules: best podcasts of the week

Ignore That Feeling pairs comedians Alison Spittle and Fern Brady in a hugely entertaining ramble. “It’s clear that the theme of this podcast is us trying to talk about a topic and getting immediately sidetracked,” they say, as they flick between subjects from Lily Allen’s “breakup album for narcissists” West End Girl to sex (“there’s more frigid people in England than Ireland”) and the length of pig orgasms (up to 90 minutes!).

Boss Class sees The Economist’s Andrew Bartleby launch a series on how generative AI will affect the future of employment. The first episode takes a personable, amusing approach to an unnerving topic: he writes a column, gets an AI programme to do the same and asks his colleagues if they can tell which is which.

MF Doom: Long Island to Leeds remembers the icon. MF Doom was banned from the US in 2010 and the following 10 years of his life are a mystery to fans.
