Louis Theroux Podcast
From TV to pod, the one and only Louis Theroux – podcasts of the week
Jon Ronson, Lenny Henry, and Miriam Margoyles are among the interviewees on the new audio show from the documentary doyen. Plus: the real stories behind the hunt for Pablo Escobar
Although Louis Theroux is used to spending a generous amount of time with his subjects, he covers a good bit of ground with his new interview podcast. First up is the documentary maker’s “professional doppelganger” Jon Ronson and they waste no time getting stuck in to 5G conspiracy theorists, Twitter pile-ons and Ronson’s time spent with the hapless-sounding Ku Klux Klan. Theroux is a skilful listener rather than an interrupter and guests such as Boy George, Lenny Henry and Miriam Margolyes promise to be interview gold. Hannah Verdier
A terrorist. A ruthless villain. Evil. Pablo Escobar is described in the most damning of terms by former law enforcement officers in the first part of this new podcast, which tells the story of the folk hero and all-powerful drug lord, and the people charged with hunting him down. High-adrenaline escapism, even if it’s liable to further mythologise Escobar and the other infamous narco-criminals it profiles, among them El Chapo and Griselda Blanco. Hannah J Davies
One of the few joys I’ve found in lockdown has been indulging further in my love of food: I’ve started an online course in the science of cooking, I’m learning how to cook dishes approximating those I miss from favourite restaurants and, perhaps most importantly, using food tourism TV shows as pure escapism, immersing myself in cultures which exist far outside of these four walls.
Ugly Delicious, the Netflix show American chef David Chang created, produced and starred in, is part-food porn, part-oral history of food culture. Chang takes concepts – barbecue, stuffed dumplings, baby food – and deconstructs them, re-learning the basics from scratch to better understand them and visiting locations key to their stories.
He brings this methodical and thorough approach to his podcast which, in these extraordinary times, has pivoted from relaxed interviews to stay at home content: a film club, mailbag episodes and a series celebrating dads who step up.
The best episode so far was made with fellow chef Eddie Huang, who moved from LA to Taiwan “the day Tom Hanks got corona”. It’s a smart chat between two people who readily admit they’ve not always been friendly, but who clearly respect each other a lot. Neither of them hold their tongues and neither of them have confidence in how the crisis is being handled in their country – from either end of the political spectrum. They also discuss protecting their shuttered businesses, and how Taiwanese culture is adapting to the new set of circumstances. I’m already planning my trip.
News is under threat …
… just when we need it the most. Millions of readers around the world are flocking to the Guardian in search of honest, authoritative, fact-based reporting that can help them understand the biggest challenge we have faced in our lifetime. But at this crucial moment, news organisations are facing an unprecedented existential challenge. As businesses everywhere feel the pinch, the advertising revenue that has long helped sustain our journalism continues to plummet. We need your help to fill the gap.
We believe every one of us deserves equal access to quality news and measured explanation. So, unlike many others, we made a different choice: to keep Guardian journalism open for all, regardless of where they live or what they can afford to pay. This would not be possible without financial contributions from our readers, who now support our work from 180 countries around the world.
We have upheld our editorial independence in the face of the disintegration of traditional media – with social platforms giving rise to misinformation, the seemingly unstoppable rise of big tech and independent voices being squashed by commercial ownership. The Guardian’s independence means we can set our own agenda and voice our own opinions. Our journalism is free from commercial and political bias – never influenced by billionaire owners or shareholders. This makes us different. It means we can challenge the powerful without fear and give a voice to those less heard.
Reader financial support has meant we can keep investigating, disentangling and interrogating. It has protected our independence, which has never been so critical. We are so grateful.
We need your support so we can keep delivering quality journalism that’s open and independent. And that is here for the long term. Every reader contribution, however big or small, is so valuable. Support the Guardian from as little as $1 – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.

Louis Theroux reveals why Carole Baskin wasn’t included in his Joe Exotic documentary
Louis Theroux has revealed why Carole Baskin didn’t feature in his pre-Tiger King Joe Exotic documentary.
On Sunday night (May 3), Louis took part in a re-run watch party of his 2011 documentary Louis Theroux: America’s Most Dangerous Pets, which saw him meet with Joe and other big Tiger King players such as Tim Stark.
One noticeable absence from the documentary, however, was Carole Baskin
Following fan queries on Twitter, Louis finally explained why Carole didn’t make an appearance, revealing that while Joe had spoken to him about Carole, he and his documentary crew didn’t think to film with her.
“Worth saying: Joe was obsessed with C[arole] Baskin even then and used to tape a video about her every Wednesday,” Louis said.
“Probably should have put her in the program but we never filmed with her or met her.”
The interesting Carole titbit was one of many cool Tiger King facts Louis shared during the program, as he also revealed his verdict on the Tiger King himself and mentioned that he’d be totally up for visiting Joe in prison.
Last month, Louis shared his “problem” with the Tiger King series, which recently became one of Netflix’s most-watched shows of all time.
Over to you, Nic Cage!
