"This series from football site Goal dedicates an episode to each one of the last 10 World Cups and pulls out an idiosyncratic moment. Take the story behind the bizarre 2002 haircut of Brazilian striker Ronaldo, or a profile of the shirts Argentina played in during the 1986 tournament, which were bootleg versions of their own shirts. It's all narrated by commentator Martin Tyler, who has covered the last 12 tournaments. Alexi Duggins Widely available, episodes fortnightly"
"From a national fondness for punctuality to their commanding car slogans (Vorsprung durch Technik!), it's easy to lean into stereotypes of German efficiency and order. This podcast from the state broadcaster DW dares to defy the cliches, as it boldly considers what tardy trains, a crisis-hit auto industry and other flaws say about the country. Hannah J Davies Widely available, episodes weekly"

Photograph: Cindy Ord/Variety/Getty Images As per the title, this series from Crooked Media (makers of Pod Save America and its transatlantic cousin, Pod Save the UK) sees journalist Alex Wagner sit down with Americans trapped in a car with no brakes. The conversations are smart and frank not least in episodes such as the Maga-critical Making America White Again. HJD Widely available, episodes weekly"
