Danielle Ward is one of the UK's hidden comedy treasures, from her involvement in the excellent Dave Gorman show on Absolute Radio, to her occasional appearances on Radio 4's News Quiz she is always a brilliant contributor.
Do the Right Thing is a panel show featuring some of the best comedians on the British circuit, but unusually for a panel show this is not available on TV or Radio, it is only available as a podcast, and is not affiliated to any station or organisation.
This freedom means that the boundaries are pushed rather further than they could be on the radio, yet it is still well produced and edited.
Martin White provides the brilliant music to introduce rounds and a host of comedians take part, as well as regulars Micheal Legge and Margaret Cabourn-Smith panelists have included Jon Holmes, Shappi Khorsandi and Al Murray.
The format of the show is kind of irrelevant, it is the interaction between regulars and guests that really matter, and mostly Danielle's excellent hosting of the show.

Favourite Podcasts - 5 - Dave Gorman
The Merchant of Tennis, Indiana Bones and the Temple of Groom, Much ado about toys, Tina we salute you!
Anyone who does not listen to the Dave Gorman podcast from Absolute Radio will not understand what just happened, regular listeners will already be smiling at reading this list.
This podcast is, like many others, an edited version of a radio show. Dave Gorman is host, Danielle Ward and Martin White the trusty co-hosts. The edited show is really great listening on it's own (Martin actually writes a song based on the show during the show each and every week!), but the genius is the podcast extras that are recorded after the show, Listeners Lexicon, correspodcast and the hilarious Pun Street.
Dave Gorman is a brilliant comic, and this podcast shows he does not just do great scripted stand up comedy (His live show from last year is one of my favourite comedy shows I have ever seen) but he can also do great spontaneous humour too.
So many comedians have a podcast these days, some just don't work all that well, but this one really is a treasure, and makes me look like a grinning idiot on the bus every Monday.
