OH GOD, WHAT NOW?, Britain’s most provocative politics podcast, goes twice-weekly in response to overwhelming audience demand. And politics explainer The Bunker goes seven days a week.
Independent podcast network Podmasters is increasing output to meet listener demand across two of its leading brands, Oh God, What Now? and The Bunker.
Smash hit politics roundtable OH GOD, WHAT NOW? will become a twice-weekly show with immediate effect. From Tuesday, 18 October, a new start-of-the-week edition joins the regular Friday morning show, doubling the podcast’s output of sharp political commentary, analysis and dark humour.
And hit daily politics podcast THE BUNKER gets a refresh this week with a new 7-day schedule, a new look – and a new focus on current affairs to cut through Britain’s political fog.
From Monday, 17 October, there’ll be a brand-new BUNKER every morning, featuring explainers, expert analyses and interviews covering issues from the tumult in the economy to housing, defence, Ukraine and, of course, the collapsing Truss Government – all in listener-friendly 20-minute bites.
“We polled our audience in depth, and the answers couldn’t have been clearer,” says group editor and Podmasters co-founder Andrew Harrison.
“They feel part of the OH GOD, WHAT NOW? gang, and they want to experience their favourite podcast more frequently. And they want THE BUNKER to explain an ever-more-confusing world of politics.
“So from next week, we’re giving them exactly what they want. An extra edition of OH GOD, WHAT NOW? and more BUNKERs with a closer focus on politics.”
“Many listeners have told us that OH GOD, WHAT NOW? was the only thing that kept them sane under May, Johnson and now Truss. And there’s a huge deficit in understanding on major topics. Mainstream broadcasters assume that everyone gets the ‘inside baseball’ of Westminster and offer up a Punch and Judy approach to political broadcasting instead.
“Now, with an extra OGWN and a new-look BUNKER, we can deal with our unfolding political nightmares in the way the listeners want.”
Both shows will be presented by a rotating team including Ian Dunt (the i), Ros Taylor, Alex Andreou, Naomi Smith (Best For Britain), Dorian Lynskey (the Guardian), Ayesha Hazarika (Times Radio), Westminster columnist Marie Le Conte, BBC veteran Gavin Esler, and former diplomat Arthur Snell, writer-presenter of the groundbreaking geopolitics podcast Doomsday Watch from the Podmasters stable.
OH GOD, WHAT NOW? launched in 2017 as a flagship of the anti-Brexit campaign under the name Remainiacs, giving a voice and outlet for the 48%. It rebranded as OGWN in 2020 after the UK left the EU. The podcast has racked up over 25 million lifetime downloads with star guest including Neil Kinnock, James O’Brien, Chris Addison, MPs Layla Moran and Wes Streeting, podcast star Matt Forde, Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham, and Tony Blair.
THE BUNKER launched in 2020, covering politics, news, culture and science for a country in lockdown. With over 15 million downloads to date, it has featured star guests and experts, including Michael Heseltine, MPs Jess Phillips, Stella Creasy and Lisa Nandy, Nigella Lawson, Jay Rayner, and US security experts Fiona Hill and Masha Gessen.
Both shows come from the Podmasters stable of podcasts, also home to groundbreaking geopolitics documentary Doomsday Watch, and the Apple Podcasts #1 show Origin Story, which unpacks how common political terms are used, abused and misrepresented. Pulling in over 1.3m downloads a month (30% up year-on-year) and with a direct membership of over 5,500 Patreon fans, Podmasters have established themselves as one of the leading independent podcast networks in the UK.

Hi everyone. While browsing information about online casinos available in the UK, I came across several discussions mentioning different gaming platforms. During my search, I spent some time reading about generation vip and looking through the information presented there. What caught my attention was the straightforward navigation and the fact that the main sections were easy to find without having to jump between multiple pages. I also appreciated that details about games and promotions were organized clearly. Overall, it left a positive impression as a platform that is easy to explore and understand.
While reading a UK-based gaming discussion forum in the evening from my flat in Manchester, I noticed people talking about how different online platforms feel in terms of navigation and structure. I wasn’t planning to try anything new, just scrolling out of curiosity after work. One mention caught my attention, so I opened wild west wins to see how it is arranged. I focused mainly on how quickly I could understand the layout and move between sections. The structure felt fairly clear, and I didn’t have to pause to figure out where anything was located. From my UK perspective, it was a straightforward browsing experience with no unnecessary confusion.
A former coworker shared Golden Mister casino with me after a really messy breakup, mostly just to help me unwind a bit. One night when I was staring at the wall for the life of me, I decided to take a look and was genuinely surprised by how soft the atmosphere was—not loud or intrusive at all. I poured myself a drink, got comfortable, and finally felt my head settle after weeks of tension. I ended the night having a proper yarn with someone new and everything just flowed. It was exactly the kind of mental reset I needed.
I discovered this platform through a UK sports forum where users sometimes share links to entertainment websites and comment on their design. I wasn’t planning to stay long, but I got curious about how the navigation system is built. The layout is minimal, which makes it easier to move around without distraction. In the middle of checking categories I opened Magic Win Casino to compare how sections are grouped. The structure remained stable, and it was easy to follow how content is distributed across pages.
I’m from the UK and came across this platform while scrolling through a forum discussion about different gaming sites. I wasn’t actively searching, but curiosity made me open it. What stood out first was the variety of games and how quickly I could navigate between sections. I ended up exploring Chilli Reels Casino and testing a few slots after making a small deposit. Everything felt fairly simple to use, especially the payment part, which didn’t require much effort to understand. I spent a bit of time just trying different games and left with a neutral but satisfied impression of how it all works.
