It might not seem like a big deal right now, but podcasts are the sleeper hit we’ve been waiting for. Almost like a radio show, podcasts let you listen in to different episodes whenever you want. Some shows are lengthy discussions, while others are similar to live comedy shows.
It might seem hard to find a show that fits your fancy, but luckily, we’ve picked out some for you to check out! Pick your match and give it a listen!
If you like real life mysteries, jump into Serial.
This new hit podcast is spreading like wildfire, and with good reason. Serial takes an unsolved true story and spends each season trying to find the answers. This season, you’re pulled into a murder mystery from 1999. What makes the show compelling comes from how the story is told. Divided into sections, host Sarah Koenig takes you through all the twists and turns with evidence, interviews, and her own real life adventuring. Is it unethical? Possibly. Is it addicting? You bet.
If you like comedy, laugh to If I Were You.
If I Were You stars Jake Hurwitz and Amir Blumenfeld from College Humor fame. Things you can expect from the show include random singing, episodes with titles like “Park Sex” and “Hot Pizza,” and the most hilarious advice that you’ll find on the web. Be aware, this isn’t the podcast for those with sensitive ears. But for those who don’t, be sure to check out one of their 115 episodes!
