This year was huge for podcasts: From true crime classics to pop culture analysis, we can’t get enough of people talking into our ears. Looking for your next great listen? Check out this year’s Webby Nominees in Podcasts. We’ve rounded up some that are especially great for different moments of your life, whether you’re in your car, in your kitchen, heading to bed, and more. See them below—and vote for your faves in Webby People’s Voice by Thurs., 4/18!
With Your Morning Coffee
Tired of public radio kicking off your day? We get it. Tap into News & Politics Nominee Mueller, She Wrote (pictured) for the same feel, but with a bit more analysis. We also love Adventures in New America, a great sci-fi, political satire show.
Cooking for the week is often routine at best; and at worst, painstaking. Peel potatoes while listening to Questlove Supreme (pictured) interview Lenny Kravitz. Alt: The Habitat, a show about six volunteers living on a fake planet, is also amazing while you chop.
Serialized podcasts are perfect for long trips. We recommend diving into Believed (pictured), a show that tackles the sexual assault charges against USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar. We also dig Dissect: serialized music analysis of popular albums.
Podcasts are like a great friend: There to help us relax, manage anxiety, etc. Listen to Simplify (pictured), for expert advice to improve everything from your habits to happiness. And try Other Men Need Help for short, insightful storytelling with life lessons in every episode.
