Podcasts have been around since the early 2000s, but it’s only in the past few years that they’ve really blown up. The range of options is vast: you can find everything from polished, professionally made narratives to a bunch of friends just goofing around. There really is something out there for everyone.


That being said, as avid podcast aficionados we do have our favourites. Here are some of them.

The Flop House


The original (and probably best) bad movie podcast hosted by former daily show writers Elliott Kalan and Dan McCoy, and bar owner Stuart Wellington. Never orderly, always funny.

The Allusionist


Advertised as a “podcast about language”, but it’s actually much, much more than that. With a mix of humour, insight, and expert interviews, it offers a fascinating and entertaining look at the way we communicate, and how language shapes our world. Hosted by linguist and author Helen Zaltzman.

Mostly Awesome


We might be slightly biased here, having created the intro theme…but this podcast about the personal journeys of innovators is regularly enlightening and thus still on our playlist.
