Podcast Corner: Entertaining fare from Louis Theroux and Doireann Garrihy
Louis Theroux and Doireann Garrihy.
Grounded with Louis Theroux was one of the highlights of the covid lockdowns, as he chatted with the likes of Chris O’Dowd, his cousin Justin Theroux, and the singer Fka Twigs. The series was released with BBC Sounds - but Theroux has signed an exclusive deal with Spotify and the first couple of episodes of The Louis Theroux Podcast are now out in the world. Spotify is perennially in the news these days - it recently laid off some 200 workers, mostly from the Parcast and Gimlet Media podcast studios it acquired in 2019. Last week it axed its $20m deal with Harry and Meghan - the only fruits of that costly linkup was one season of the latter’s Archetypes series.
