It\u2019s intimate, it\u2019s engaging, it\u2019s a medium that feels somehow perfect for the confessional: podcasts and biopics are a really great fit. Perhaps that\u2019s why this week\u2019s two biggest releases are musical biographies of two megastars: Take That and Will Smith. The latter\u2019s new series Class of \u201888 is supposed to be a look at one year in hip-hop\u2019s history, but his back-and-forth with DJ pal Jazzy Jeff about scrapes involving an attempt to hack a plaster cast from Jeff\u2019s broken leg with a butterknife are far and away the highlight. The easy banter between Take That\u2019s remaining members also makes it clear why they\u2019ve chosen to share their story in a medium that\u2019s recently seen Paul McCartney launch into mini biographies<\/a> for a number of his biggest hits.<\/p>\n

As well as looking at Take That and Smith\u2019s podcasts, we\u2019ll be rounding up five of the finest ever spin-off podcasts (yes, S-Town is in there) and taking a look at the week\u2019s other great shows. Special mention goes to Ghost Story, which is one of the wildest real-life tales we\u2019ve come across in a long, long time. Enjoy. <\/p>\n
