15 Sep LUYA LOVES… PODCASTS
We’re bringing LUYA LOVES back and starting with… podcasts!
As a remote PR agency, Team LUYA is always looking for ways to stay productive when working at home for the day – whether it be listening to a relaxing playlist or even some guided meditation on the busier, more stressful days.
A firm go-to favourite however, is spending 45-minutes totally engrossed by a podcast whilst we type up client emails, write up news-worthy press releases or put together our next exciting campaigns. So, we consulted the team and have collated all of our current favourite podcasts that we think are a must-listen! Here’s what LUYA LOVES…
The Easy Listens…

Each episode, comedians, Ed Gamble and James Acaster, are joined by a special guest into their fictional ‘restaurant’ to choose their favourite starter, main course, side dish, dessert and drink.
