Miquita Oliver and Lily Allen’s intimate chats, Jake Shears’s deep dive into queer anthems and the ongoing mystery of Lord Lucan were among the standouts

1. Miss Me?
BBC Sounds
The effortlessly charismatic real-life friend duo of Miquita Oliver and Lily Allen stomps all over boring two-hander bro-casts. Their twice-weekly transatlantic catch-ups tackle everything from living with addiction to the joy of potatoes and the madness of house parties. My fave.

2. The Wonder of Stevie
Audible and Higher Ground
From the Obamas’ production company, this authoritative, joy-packed series on the life and music of Stevie Wonder not only features a high celebrity count but a wonderful host in Wesley Morris.
