After listening to your playlists on perpetual repeat, sometimes you need something fresh and exciting to listen to while waiting for Frank Ocean to drop a new album. Podcasts make for great listening during commutes to class or late night studying. They are great for procrastinating on these things, too. Podcasts cover topics on just about everything, and there is definitely a podcast for everyone. Here are seven podcasts you will fall for during the fall semester, available on the Podcasts app or wherever you get your podcasts.
“WTF with Marc Maron”
Comedian Marc Maron talks to some of the most influential historical and cultural icons today. “WTF with Marc Maron” covers intimate topics such as substance abuse, psychological problems, philosophy and pop culture while featuring guests such as Alison Brie and Barack Obama, all in his garage (The Cat Ranch). WTF, indeed.
“My Favorite Murder”
Hosts Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark make their true crime podcast harrowing yet accessible in an entertaining way. What makes this podcast a gem is that listeners tune in for a laugh and hot tips on how to not get murdered.
“Funemployment”
After being fired from their commercial radio jobs, Greg Nibler and Sarah X Dylan stick it to the man by hosting a podcast where they talk about rent, life, and work (or lack of it). “Funemployment” gives insight on real situations that everyone has to deal with.
Stuff You Should Know
Ever wanted to learn why men have nipples or why people stutter? On S”tuff You Should Know,” Josh and Chuck investigate a wide variety of topics that drag listeners in, like clickbait, but leave them a little more educated.
“Barely Friending”
Comedians Eddie Della Siepe and MJ Riggins used to date each other, they kind of hate each other and now they have a podcast. Hilarity ensues.
“Call Your Girlfriend”
Pop culture, drama, and politics are covered in this podcast. Long distance friends and unabashed feminists Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman discuss low-brow and high-brow topics.
“How Did This Get Made?”
Paul Scheer (The League), June Diane, and Jason Mantzoukas shred bad movies to pieces. ‘Nuff said.
