The Rest is History might be a good one for you

RSK is a gem, but if you’re looking for posh accents, not the best route. Maybe something with David Mitchell

BBC Radio 4 produces plenty of podcasts, and some excellent comedy.

Can you recommend one of the comedy ones?

Friday Night Comedy is pretty good, that gets you the News Quiz when it's on, and whatever they have on when it's not. They also have a "comedy of the week" one.

Not a comedy one but I would recommend From Our Own Correspondent.

It's well written dispatches from the BBC's extremely talented journalists, read in their own voice. It's a nice mix of interesting, possibly familiar (because they are talking about current stories) and varied both in terms of topics and accents.

Help I Sexted my Boss.

William Hanson is very well spoken and contrasts with Jordan Norths more regional accent.

I love the rest is politics

That Roderick James Nugent Stewart is such a normal, down to earth fellow, he's certainly been to a flat roof pub for one to many on a friday night.

And then I love being lectured to by an alcoholic, dr kelly murdering, war mongering, Tony Blair teet sucker.

It helps me do all my thinking for me, and gives me a few light hearted quips incase anyone dare questions my worldview
