What are some good comedy related podcasts I can listen to while I work? I'm all true crimed out for the moment I need a laugh. I listen to the Bill Burr Monday morning podcast a lot but I need some variety. Many thank you's in advance!
I'm new to reddit and podcasts. A few days ago on another thread someone suggested that I try podcasts and I looked around and have basically no clue where to start so...
My mom passed away unexpectedly about three weeks ago, we had lived together as adults for over two decades and I am finding the emptiness of the house unbearable.
I'm not looking for anything about grief or loneliness, I'm looking for something that "feels" like they're talking "to" me so I don't feel so alone at home. I don't really care about the subject matter so long as it isn't dark/angry/depressed. And I'm more interested in feeling the sense of companionship in the conversation than the content.
Hello
I’m looking for a funny podcast that I can fall asleep to. I used to use “Pounded in the but by my own podcast” by chuck tingle but it is no longer running
Does anyone have suggestions similar to that?
As my subject suggests I’m seeking a podcast that can help manage severe day to day anxiety through the use of specific strategies or personal experience. If you know of any I’d really appreciate the suggestions! Thank you!
As the title says. I haven’t listened to podcasts much lately but I used to like reply all, underunderstood, normal gossip and those sorts.
Any recs welcome, thanks!
I usually like to throw a podcast on when working, and I love podcast series that suck me in and I can't stop listening to since it makes the time fly by. Does anyone have a podcast series that they literally could not stop listening to? Here are some that I think of that I couldn't put down, so ones similar to these would be wonderful. I enjoy any type of podcast, as long as it sucks me in and I don't want to stop listening.
And here are some that are on my list - would love to hear if these are worth listening to.
EDIT: Wow, I didn't expect to get this many responses!! Thank you all so much :)
Radio Lab is one of the all-time great podcasts in my opinion. Really engaging, well-researched and produced. The classic duo of Jad and Robert as hosts was ao great with their chemistry, their presentation of the topics and interviews that it hardly ever missed the mark. I realize nothing can laat forever and they needed to move on. The new team for the last few years has been doing a good job keeping it going, but the tone of the show has become really grating on my nerves with the new hosts. Their overly-chipper, cutesy presentation of almost every subject dosed with infantalizing banter really turns me off at times. Like the show is just more and more made for kids. And it's always been a staple of the show to anthropomorphize cells, animals, bacteria, etc to try and help explain heady, complicated scientific content, but I feel the new hosts use this approach so much as to make it annoying. I will continue to listen, but just wish I didn't have the feeling I was always being explained things like I was a child. Was wondering what other long-time Radio Lab fans have thought of the show the last few years.
i listen to podcasts all day at work and i just finished listening to the backlogs of movies that raised us. i need another similar podcast to scratch that itch. im mostly looking for in depth recaps (basically feel like im watching the movie) with commentary
Looking for podcasts on nautical history, how the shipping industry evolved, and (obviously) the occasional dramatic shipwrecks.
Hit me with your favorites please!
TIA.
Hey guys, I'm really into paranormal horror and just recently finished a podcast I usually listen to while crocheting, so now I was wondering if any of you have really good recommendations?
Also are there any casual not super scary ones you can listen to before bed? Not like the Magnus archives where it's all one connection story, but one where you don't need to have back knowledge to understand!
Thanks in advance! :)😊
Life changing podcast episode?
Looking for podcast episodes covering Samantha Azzopardi aka the GPO girl.
Prefer single (or double if very detailed) episode format rather than serial type.
I’ve heard one podcast episode but would love to get some other takes.
Hi
I love love love multipart podcasts, which tell one story.
But I think it’s hard to find good ones.
Any recommendations?
Could be from any podcast, any genre, any year. I want to hear the episodes that are genuinely impossible not to laugh at 😂
Edit - Loving the responses to this! I made a google doc to compile all the recommendations in one place. Promise to go through every reply and add them as they come in.
Keep ’em coming! 🙌
Any recs, friend-o’s?
Hi! I'm looking for all your favourite podcasts with British celebs being interviewed! Need my brit-fix x
So I found reply all a while ago based on recommendations here.
Really enjoyed it for quite a while until it got... Bleh.
Then all the hosts left or split off or got into whatever controversy and brought on the black British guy and I didn't like him.
Then they talked about "now hiring" and then within a couple of weeks they were cancelled.
Just seemed to all crumble SO FAST.
Those that were around when that all happened, did it seem as hectic and clumsily handled as it seems as a new listener?
We're PJ and Shruthi just awful humans and they single handedly murdered the show or what?
I am reaaaallllly wanting to get out of my bad habit of spending my mornings with TikTok videos and reels being on as I get ready for the day. I would love a calming “morning show” to listen to as I wake up for the morning. Nothing boring but also nothing too intense (not really a morning news type of person… don’t love to spend the first hour of my day hearing about the various tragedies of our world).
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Anyone else here basically have a podcast playing 24/7?
Whether I’m chilling on the couch during lunch, commuting to work, or doing chores after dinner, I almost always have something playing in the background. I’d say I easily spend 6–7 hours a day wearing headphones just listening to podcasts.
I’ve tried a bunch of different pairs over the years, but I keep running into the same problems. Some get uncomfortable after a few hours because of the pressure on my ears, and I end up taking them off halfway through longer interview episodes. Others just don’t handle voices that well, the host’s voice gets mixed with background noise, and it’s harder to really get immersed.
For those of you who listen to podcasts for hours every day, what matters more when picking earbuds: comfort for long sessions or better voice clarity? Any recommendations for earbuds that are good for relaxing and daily podcast listening?
