"Jonathan Goldstein's narrative pod about regrets, mistakes and the pursuit of closure cancelled by Spotify in 2023 makes its return this week under the Pushkin banner, and it's been worth the wait. Heavyweight does up-close-and-personal like few other shows, and this first episode about a son's fears around his parents' cluttered house, and a plot to relocate their trinkets to a barn is both warm and spiked with melancholy.

Heavyweight returns under Pushkin, centering on a son's fears about his parents' cluttered house and a plan to move their trinkets to a barn, blending warmth with melancholy. Paul Fisher, a college dropout, opened a modelling agency in 1980s New York amid alleged mob money and a taste for the high life; the series frames his recollections as a pacy, racy retelling of a bygone era and the dirty tricks of rival reps. Comedian Helen Bauer launches a solo, chaotic and very funny series of rambling episodes with a catchy jingle. Stop Rewind follows Taj, an Indian child kidnapped and adopted by a Mormon family who uses a childhood cassette to search for his roots. Bold Politics features Green party leader Zack Polanski interviewing Ash Sarkar about wealth taxes and progressive ideas.
