From I May Destroy You to Sex And The City and Line Of Duty, these are the TV shows that have podcasts entirely dedicated to their fans.

We’re all getting through a lot of excellent television right now. 

From nostalgic BBC favourites to exciting new Netflix releases and book-to-TV adaptations, there’s actually been plenty of series to keep us going during the pandemic. 

But you might have missed chatting to your office buddies about the latest series at the water cooler, or quoting classic comedy lines with friends over a glass of wine. 

Cue: TV podcasts.

Plugging into a TV podcast is the perfect way to feel like part of the conversation and hype. And for super fans, they’re a brilliant way of finding new interviews, reviews and background information about your favourite shows. 

Let’s take a look at some of the best ones out there.
