What podcasts are you listening to?
While I don’t listen to podcasts as often as I’d like, there are quite a few I do listen to. They are all over the place too which makes it fun in a way. This list won’t be in any real order. I’m just going to go through my Spotify so I make sure I get them all.
The first is The Office Ladies. I’ve been a fan of The Office for years and it’s super fun to hear stuff about filming, what was improvised, other details of things that happened, and just all things Office related.
The next on the list is Best Film Ever. This one is a podcast about films and TV. They do several different segments. One they talk about films and if they are the “best film ever.” Another segment is about if shows have a good first episode or not. They also do a segment where they review a movie and then tell you if you should see it or skip it. Of course, it is only their opinion and you are free to watch or not watch anything they talk about.
The next few are similar. There is REAL ONES with Jon Bernthal, Metaphysical Milkshake with Rainn & Reza, The Late Show Pod with Stephen Colbert, and The Back Lounge Podcast. While each one is different from the other, they are all interview type podcasts. A couple of people talking about whatever they want. These are always fun to listen to.
Norse Mythology: The Unofficial Guide is a podcast about Norse mythology. It uses different sources to talk about different things in Norse mythology. I do own several books on Norse mythology that I plan on reading, but in the meantime, listening to podcasts about it is super helpful as well.
Bellied Up is a fun podcast were two guys go to a bar and talk about literally anything. A majority of the podcast is people calling in to seek advice or ask questions. It’s a funny podcast to listen to and I highly recommend it. It also helps if you live in the Midwest in the United States. A lot of Midwest references in this podcast.
Lateral with Tom Scott is a fun one where they take turns asking questions and then the rest of them try to solve the question being asked. It’s almost like solving riddles. This is a good one to listen to if you’re trying to stay awake since it requires you to use your brain if you decide to play along.
Who Is NO/ONE is a really cool podcast that runs along a comic called NO/ONE. I highly recommend the comic. It’s amazing. The podcast is a continuation of it and it’s one of the coolest things I’ve seen someone do.
Foreign language podcasts. That’s kind of self explanatory. The one’s I mostly listen to are German since I’m still trying to learn it. It’s hard to listen to them if they require me to do exercises, but if it’s just a couple people talking I can listen to it whenever.
I’m always open to new podcasts as well. If there are any I should check out, let me know and I’ll give them a listen!
