Ace podcast

One of my favourite podcasts. Each episode introduces a new puzzle and gives the solution to the previous one. The presenters have a good chemistry with the non-mathematician asking just the right questions to clarify the puzzles.

Thought-provoking

This covers a great range of accessible mathematical puzzles inspired by interesting fields of maths. Good presenters and conveniently bite-sized.
