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.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
