The Guardian's weekly podcast round-up highlights five picks, led by the return of comedians Fern Brady and Alison Spittle's freewheeling chat show for a second series. The selection spans comedy, quiz formats and personal storytelling, reflecting the breadth of the current podcast landscape.

Standouts include the relaunch of Joe Bloom's viral "red telephone" series A View from a Bridge, featuring guests such as David Byrne, and Skinwigs, an offbeat comedy chat from Sam O'Leary and Ash Tyson. Also featured are BBC Sounds quiz Karel Prince: Lie Detector, involving ex-Manchester United player Brian McClair, and the third series of Dane Stewart's intimate documentary podcast Resurrection: The Ghost Writer, which explores grief and caregiving.
