A Podcast a Day Keeps the Boredom Away
What better way to waste some time than listening to podcasts while you sit by the pool with your friends or go on your daily walk?
This summer has proven to unlike any other. With lockdowns and stay-at-home orders, people have realized that have much more time on their hands than they could have ever imagined. What better way to waste some time than listening to podcasts while you sit by the pool with your friends or go on your daily walk? With so many different genres, there is a podcast out there for everyone. If you are into drama, mystery/crime, or science, spotify can find your perfect fit. A few of the top podcasts today are "Call Her Daddy", "Crime Junkie", and "Joe Rogan the Experience".
"Call Her Daddy" is on the top of the charts for Alexandra Cooper and Sofia Franklyn's blunt honesty about sex, dating, and all things embarrassing in life. The two New Yorkers talk about everything from embarrassing hook-ups to techniques in the bedroom. With over 80 episodes of content, you can spend your entire summer catching up on the juice these girls have to spill.
For all those mystery addicts out there, "Crime Junkie" can be your fix. Ashley Flowers and Brit Prawat talk about real-life crimes and mysteries in over 100 different episodes. Some of my personal favorites are Episode 8: Bryce Laspisa, Episode 20 Adnan, and Episode 52: Lizzie Borden. Take a nice bath or grab a bag of popcorn and get ready for a whirl-wind of mystery with this podcast.
"The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast offers both audio and video as he interviews some of the most interesting people in the world. From Bob Lazar to Elon Musk, Rogan captures his audience by asking questions everyone wants to know the answer to: like why Musk named his child such a unique name! My favorite podcast was the Bob Lazar episode on alien space-craft and Area 51. With the declassification of files from the government, you can try and make sense of the "alien situation" that may be very real or just extremely convincing.
If you are becoming stir-crazy staying at home all summer, podcasts are a perfect way to pass the time.
