Top Podcasts While In Quarantine
(Originally posted on LinkedIn)
Most of us are stuck in our homes and have already binge watched too many shows on Netflix. You are probably asking yourself, now what? Here are a few podcasts that can help you get through the day!
Celebrity Podcasts
Celebrity Podcasts are for those who are interested in pop culture, Hollywood, and learning a bit about the people they've seen on their favorite shows or movies. Whether you like listening to interesting interviews or just want to learn more about your favorite show, these will keep you entertained for hours on end.
Armchair Expert
This podcast is led by Dax Shepard and Monica Padman. They interview anyone from celebrities to scientists to experts in all different fields. Dax gives you a bit of insight and honesty that is not very common among celebrities. He is always willing to tackle difficult conversations about his past and is genuinely interested and excited about learning from his interviewees.
Office Ladies
"The Office" has a cult following and is definitely binge-worthy. You can trust me on this, I've watched all two hundred and one episodes from beginning to end three times. With that said, this podcast is led by Jenna Fischer and Angel Kinsey who review each episode of the show with the insight that only they would have. Being in their shoes adds an entirely different level to anyone who loves the show.
Podcasts That Will Keep You Intrigued
These podcasts are for someone that wants to be entertained, laugh, but also come out learning something. Because of the large range of subjects that are covered, these types of podcasts are great for those with an open mind or maybe can't decide on what they want to listen to.
The Joe Rogan Experience
Comedian Joe Rogan interviews guests of all types in his video and audio podcast. Joe's guests have ranged from comedians to athletes, to presidential candidates and everything in between. He takes a very unique perspective into each of his sometimes two to three-hour interviews that offers plenty of laughs and interesting information that you likely won't find anywhere else. Because of his broad audience, you can go into each podcast expecting something new with the classic Joe Rogan approach.
Stuff You Should Know
iHeartRadio's podcast explains topics of all types and are informative yet interesting enough that you'll be able to binge for hours. Some examples of topics they've covered are how bars work, dog training, and mullets to name a few. With over one thousand episodes, you'll never run out of topics to listen about.
For The Crime Addict
My Favorite Murder
My Favorite Murder I led by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark and is for the true-crime lover. There are over 150 episodes of Karen and Georgia, who are self-proclaimed true crime fans, covering their favorite true crime stories. Whether you want to listen for hours or just get your crime fix in here and there, these are a great listen during the quarantine.
Over My Dead Body: Joe Exotic
If you've already watched the Netflix show, Tiger King, this podcast is for you. It follows the story line of the attempted hit taken out on Joe Exotic's rival, Carole Baskins. This is a great podcast if you just haven't gotten the opportunity to watch the show but are interested in hearing what all of the fuss is about.
Whether you like pop culture, crime, or just want to be entertained, these podcasts will provide endless hours of entertainment that can help you escape quarantine.
