Podcast Corner: Three new podcasts to check out
Judges Dannii Minogue and Simon Cowell on The X Factor.
The X Factor hasn’t been on our screens since 2018 but it’s still held up as the ultimate in Saturday night reality TV entertainment. From BBC Sounds (all episodes widely available), across six 30-minute episodes, host Chi Chi Izundu seeks to demystify the processes behind what we saw on TV, talking to producers and contestants - successful and ‘failed’ - about what really went on. From judge Simon Cowell’s comments about hopefuls’ weight to what it’s like to become famous overnight, a lot has changed since its heyday.
