If you've watched all that Netflix has to offer, you may have branched out into the wise world of podcasts.
Want to delve deep into the ins and outs of dating? Celebs Go Dating guru Anna Williamson has got you covered. Or maybe you're looking for some niche listening. If so, where else can you hear South Asian BFFs talk about the topic of sex so candidly than the podcast Brown Girls Do It Too?
Perhaps you're simply obsessed with pop culture, and therefore need to plug Everything Is Content into your veins/ears?
If you want to feel like hanging out with some of your favourite celebs, then did you know that the likes of Jonathan Van Ness, Trinny Woodall and Emily Ratajkowski all have podcasts as well?!
Of course, if you need a bit of ~respite~ from the chaotic stories that have taken over our streaming platforms, you can also choose to engage in a bit of wellness… in podcast form. Try the Harvest Series or Fearne Cotton's Happy Place.
Needless to say, there is something for everyone.
True Crime:
Scamanda
Fans of true-life scams that are almost impossible to believe, like Apple Cider Vinegar, come this way.
Hosted by British broadcaster and journalist Charlie Webster, Scamanda explores the wild story of Amanda Riley who fabricated a cancer battle on her blog and social media channels. Her lie penetrated the Christian community she was at the centre of, not to mention her family.
It really has to be listened to in order to be believed.

Lifestyle:
Small Doses with Amanda Seales
Is your weekly routine missing some “potent truths"? Allow Amanda Seales to fill you in. Her podcast (which has a stunning 4.9 out of 5 rating on Apple Podcasts) discusses the “Side effects of…” a different topic each week, leaving you vastly more entertained and informed than you were before.
How To Fail with Elizabeth Day
In a society that champions winning above all else, it's so refreshing to hear from people who've failed (often publicly) and how they've learned from that experience. Elizabeth Day chats to a different guest each episode about why failing is underrated. We're here for it.
Culture:
Brown Girls Do It Too
The topic of sex and intimacy for South Asians is not taboo on Brown Girls Do It Too – and we have Poppy and Rubina to thank for that as they gather to talk about all things that were supposedly taboo to discuss in the community. With their comedic charm and best friend personas, no topic is off-limits as the Brown women are celebrated everywhere.

You're Wrong About
After a few years of listening to this podcast, we can safely say that we were wrong about so many things: from Princess Diana to the OJ Simpson Trial. While one of the founding co-hosts, Michael Hobbes, has now left the show, Sarah Marshall continues to debunk life's greatest mysteries with her signature wit and boundless likeability.
