Best podcasts of the week: passionate pop culture show and more recommendations
The Guardian's weekly podcast roundup features five shows, including Clara Amfo and Munroe Bergdorf's new series, Adam Buxton's project on success in the influencer age, and an examination of OnlyFans creators.

The Guardian has published its weekly podcast recommendations, with the top pick being "Clara & Munroe Are Into It" featuring former BBC DJ Clara Amfo and activist Munroe Bergdorf. The pair passionately and incisively unpack the latest pop culture moments, such as the conversation around Olivia Rodrigo's baby-doll dress and what it says about women in music. The only complaint: half an hour is not long enough.
Another featured podcast is "Successpod" – a six-part series by podcast veteran Adam Buxton. He leans into his offbeat instincts to explore what it means to be accomplished in the influencer age, including songs about losing his hair and frank chats with Guz Khan, Romesh Ranganathan, and others.
Leon Neyfakh (of "Slow Burn" and "Fiasco") teams up with comedian and OnlyFans creator Gracie Canaan for "OnlyFantasy", a smart series that examines online sex work without falling into moral panic. They explore relationships between X-rated creators and ordinary people, with candid revelations from Neyfakh himself.
From Canada's CBC, reporter Daemon Fairless investigates a man who sold lethal chemicals online to suicidal people in "Hunting the Suicide Salesman". This follow-up to the acclaimed but disturbing series "Hunting Warhead" is described as gripping and devastating.
Finally, "This Is TV Now" – hosted by magazine founder Dane Cardiel and producer Stella Young – examines the increasingly blurry lines between TV and radio in the age of video podcasting. The conclusion: video hasn't killed the radio stars yet.
