Four Comedy Podcasts To Listen To

With the rise of podcasts and its entrance into mainstream culture, comedic content has become undoubtedly prolific. Through podcasts, comedians and non-comedians alike can create entertainment for many audiences. However, because of its accessibility, there is not enough time to sift through everything that is out there. So, if you’re looking to be entertained but don’t know where to start, here are four comedy podcasts that I would recommend.

1. If I Were You


This podcast is an advice podcast hosted by Amir Blumenfeld and Jake Hurwitz (you may know them from their sketch creating days). People send in their questions and quandaries, and Jake and Amir try their best to solve them. The bits and jokes and character improvisation are endless, and it never fails to lift me up from a somber mood.

Best Episodes: Episode 1: Starbucks, Episode 73: Horoscope, Episode 100: Family Fiction, Episode 163: Ugly Hot


2. Call Chelsea Peretti

This podcast is an experience. You don’t even have to know of Chelsea to enjoy this. The basic premise of the podcast is that people call in with topics and stories relating to given topics of the day and Chelsea either has a conversation with them or hangs up on them. From sound effects to rants about silverfish, this podcast consisting of complete silliness has everything you ever needed and more.

Best Episodes: Episode 1: Did You Get My Letter, Episode 30: I.F.F, Episode 33: Silverfish Dementia, Episode 57: Roach Infestations and Actual Murder


3. The Great Debates

I haven’t been keeping up with this podcast, but it’s a good listen. Steve Hely and Dave King with moderator Dan Medina debate the issues of the day without any preparation. The debates range variously from discussions about June vs. July to the Constitution.

Best Episodes:Episode 51: There Are Fewer Than 90 Gay Dentists in Nebraska, Episode 61: The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a Good Tower, Episode 76: Keanu Reeves Is A Great Actor


4. Comedy Bang Bang

This is the comedy podcast that everybody knows of. Admittedly, it’s not always funny, and I only like to listen to it when I know the guests and/or the characters that they’ll be doing. However, it is a staple, and there are episodes that I can listen to over and over again without getting tired of them.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
