This began as a podcast about BBC TV anthology show Inside No 9 by two people who just wanted to listen to one. But they couldn't. So they started one in the hope that it would inspire someone else to do something better.
Five and a half years later, after 130 podcast episodes, the end of the ninth series of Inside No 9 and Stage Fright, Stephen and Andrew didn't want to drift apart with nothing to talk about, so they decided to Pod On. Every two weeks, they explore a meaningful cultural artefact, such as a TV show, film, or album, that they enjoy. They'd love you to join them.
As you wouldn't expect adverts when chatting with friends in the pub, you won't find any here. You can support the show and help keep the lights on by becoming a Podding Off Patreon member. Between Podding On episodes, they are rewatching (and creating episodes about) The League of Gentlemen.
Our shared cultural artefact for this episode is the pilot episode of Twin Peaks (1990), a TV show we've mentioned many times on this podcast over the years.
It's time to give it some undivided attention...

142. Ludwig | Podding On
In this Podding On episode, we dive into Series 1, Episode 1 of Ludwig.
Directed by Robert McKillop
Written by Mark Brotherhood
First aired on 25th September 2024
Ludwig is a conspiracy thriller mixed with a good old-fashioned whodunnit murder mystery with a good helping of comedy.
Puzzle setter John 'Ludwig' Taylor's life of solitude is upended when his identical twin, DCI James Taylor, disappears. Drafted in by his sister-in-law Lucy, John reluctantly assumes his brother's identity as a detective in the Cambridge Police Authority in order to find clues to his brother's whereabouts.
He inadvertently solves an unrelated murder whilst posing as his brother in the major crime unit. When he realises the crime is a puzzle, it becomes quite simple to solve.
