A familiar face from Louis Theroux's documentaries is joining his podcast: Megan Phelps-Roper, the author and podcaster formerly of the Westboro Baptist Church. Theroux bills her appearance as the podcast's first crossover guest from his television work, a particularly fitting addition for an interviewer whose conversations often stretch beyond a single encounter.

His only upload this week, "The Louis Theroux Podcast is BACK and its BIGGER!", announces more episodes throughout the year and a broad guest list. Boxer Tyson Fury sits alongside writers Jon Ronson and Naomi Klein, Monty Python's Eric Idle, filmmaker Judd Apatow and footballer-turned-actor Vinnie Jones. The announcement has drawn about 8,300 views and is currently the channel's most active video.

The practical question in the comments is where to watch. Several viewers ask whether full episodes will come to YouTube, rather than having to use Spotify for video. Others single out Ronson or ask when the Vinnie Jones conversation will arrive. The announcement promises the guests, but those comments shouldn't be mistaken for a release schedule.

Theroux's subscriber audience is almost the same size as Lateral with Tom Scott's. Elsewhere in the interview neighborhood, Office Hours Live with Tim Heidecker is having a particularly busy week, while Triforce!'s daily viewing is close to its usual level.

Back on Theroux's channel, two Marco Pierre White uploads remain the next most active videos after the return announcement. The chef's studio appearance and an additional extract from their conversation give anyone catching up a two-part route into the archive.
