BBC Podcast ‘How Do You Cope?’ Switches To Wondery​on February 10, 2025 at 10:00 am

EXCLUSIVE: BBC podcast How Do You Cope? has switched to Wondery for its latest season, which will feature guests including the wrongfully-incarcerated Amanda Knox.

Hosted by John Robins and Elis James, the pod has run on BBC sounds for four seasons with guests including Brian May, Gabby Logan and George Ezra. This year’s How Do You Cope? has moved to Wondery and James is no longer presenting.

The latest series launches on Wondery+ next week and to all listeners the following one. It sees Robins meet another group of special guests for intimate, candid and empathetic conversations about how they have overcome mental and physical hurdles in navigating their daily lives.

Guests confirmed for the first Wondery series include Knox, who was wrongfully incarcerated for the murder of Meredith Kercher. Others set for How Do You Cope? are celebrity chef Joe Wicks, The Darkness lead singer Justin Hawkins and Strictly Come Dancing winner Chris McCausland.

Robins said: “I’m really looking forward to speaking to such incredible people about the lessons they’ve learned and the practical tools they use to get through life, whether it be recovery from addiction, mental health conditions, disability or sudden trauma. The world of wellness, especially online, can sometimes be a chaotic mix of terminology and memes. It’s fantastic to have the time to speak to people at length, and not feel the pressure of providing wisdom in a thirty second clip.”

The series joins a Wondery UK roster that also includes hits like Kill List and Ghost Story. It marks a rare example of a show switching from the BBC to a different pod platform.
