Download one (or more) when you need a laugh or perhaps want to question your own sanity.
World Records Podcast
The World Records podcast is an absolutely insane, goofy bunch of weirdos, songs, jokes, and hilarious guests. Hosts Brandon and Amanda are not here to update you on world records, they are here to make you laugh. And at that moment they deliver. The world records podcast sounds like a cartoon and will make you feel like an addict. Listen to the episode with Ted Danson.
city of dumb people
People have always done stupid things, and in City of Stupid People, Randy, Jason Sklar and Daniel Van Kirk document the stupidest ones. Every week, they invite comedians they know (Mike Birbiglia, Taylor Tomlinson, Bobcat Goldthwaite, Dana Gould, Quinta Brunson) to review incredible headlines in the news: Someone who’s never flown a plane flies in it, a bride cancels her wedding when her the groom’s bald wig falling off in the middle of the ceremony, lots of “someone stuffed something in them” folder stories, and more.
Best Show with Tom Scharpling
Podcasts are often thoughtful and scripted, but “Best Show” is three hours of mayhem on air with comedian Tom Scharpling and his celebrity guests. The episodes flow like a radio show, with live music, callers, hot topics, and lots of surprises. The Best Show airs every Tuesday night on Twitch at 6:00 PM PT, but you can listen to it on your podcast app. Tom has been doing this for years and has comedic chops and experience to make you laugh for hours. You will feel like you just did a bunch of crunches.
Beef and Dairy Network
The Beef and Dairy Network is a fictional, absurdist, one-of-a-kind show that satirizes the world of beef and dairy farming. (If you think it can’t be funny, you’re wrong.) Listening is like reading a magazine full of satire, niche humor, surreal elements, wordplay, puns, drawn-out jokes, and strong comedic lyrics, The Beef. and the Dairy Network is full of ridiculous situations and characters that make fun of society with deadpan faces all around, and jokes are always caught.
trailer park diaries
In The Trailer Park Diaries, comedian best friends Vicky Barbolak and Sean Pelofsky take listeners into a hilarious world in a fictional trailer park full of colorful characters and situations by reading a chest full of diaries that chronicle every ridiculous incident that happens. The gossip, crazy characters, and electric chemistry between the hosts make you feel like you’re part of a community (or trailblazer – that’s a trailer neighbor – if you like) drinking PBR on a swing. Enjoy a new chapter in every episode.
Last podcast on the left
You can come to The Last Podcast on the Left for dark, twisted true crime, or you can come for hysterical storytelling and chemistry from hosts Ben Kissel, Marcus Parks and Henry Zebrowski. Each episode is like a comedic routine revolving around the darkest stories – Jeffrey Dahmer, werewolves, Jonestown, legendary ghosts, war crime stories and more. These guys have eleven points on a scale of one to ten and they never go down.
ghost honey dream machine
TikTok’s Ghosthoney shares the story of his move into his late great-aunt’s eclectic Los Angeles mansion, where strange things lurk around every corner for the delightfully chaotic Ghosthoney Dream Machine . The documentary-style mystery features an eternal goblin named Rose who lives under Ghost Honey’s bed and feeds on his socks, a sexy vampire neighbor, and a cheeky full moon. It’s a podcast, but it’s also a fun house. From time to time, Ghosthoney interprets listeners’ dreams, which makes this dreamy show even more fabulous. This podcast exists on another plane, in a parallel universe. You will need breadcrumbs to find your way home.
What is this fresh hell?
What is this fresh hell? upset and you may look upset listening to it in public. TikToker and comedian Stanzi Potenza is your host/close friend who shares absolutely everything, summarizes his weekends and reads sketches and fan porn. It takes really good editing to make something that seems so chaotic sound so good. The episodes are short enough to hold your attention and give you a boost of energy, like drinking espresso by ear.
SONG OF THE WEEK
For two years at SONG-A-WEEK, Paul Rast and Michael Cassidy created a new song… every week. Each of them is funny, joyful and amazingly memorable, and Paul and Michael have a good dynamic. With songs like “Fancy Paw”, “You Must Zap”, “Two Hundred Tons of Teeth”, you are sure to find an absolute favorite that you will return to when you need an energy boost. (An amazing twist: it was produced by Tony Thaxton, former drummer for the pop-punk band Motion City Soundtrack.) Pop music podcasts are on the top.
Richard’s famous food podcast
Richard’s Famous Food Podcast is not only a food podcast, but also a sound experiment. Host Richard Parks III uses his wild imagination to create colorful, crazy pieces that play with sound and structure. In one of the episodes, you will go on a trip to Los Angeles with Wolfgang Puck. Another Avery Trufelman interview about truffles. Your best first taste might be the one that sets you up for figuring out how Ian Chillag of Everything Is Alive got an air-filled bag of ketchup in a Goldburger order. Looks like the Pee Wee Theater . You may not learn how to pickle a cucumber, but you will get a song and an interview with a very bold pickle.
