Imagine it takes you an hour to commute to work every day. You have an iPod but you are fed up with music and want to listen to a podcast instead. Your recommendations, please.
This morning I listened to Radio 5 Live's Fighting Talk. Fantastic. A colleague spotted me grinning on the way to work and wondered if I had found some sort of spiritual salvation. No, just Colin Murray.
But click on the iTunes top 40 and it is dominated by the BBC. Nothing wrong with that, necessarily, but I don't want to hear Mark Kermode talking about films, or those chaps off Football Focus doing football. I'd rather listen to my Supertramp playlist.
But do a search for "movies" or "music" or "football" or "cricket" and a whole host of podcasts come up, some that I have heard of - including those by my colleagues at the Guardian - but many that I have not. Far too many, in fact, to find my way around. I'm a bit lazy. So this is where you come in.
I want to know your podcast hidden gems, the stuff that you listen to on your journey into work, out of work, or just sitting around at home. Go ahead, make my day. Or at least my Metropolitan line journey into Farringdon.
If all goes to plan, I'll listen to as many of them as I can and report back. They don't have to be about movies, music, or any of the subjects listed above. Just make them entertaining.
Think of it as a bit like Your 100 Favourite Tunes, but with podcasts instead. Oh, and Chris Moyles and Russell Brand don't count.
