\u201cBeautiful Stories from Anonymous People\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Aired: March 23, 2016<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne phone call. One hour. No names. No holds barres,\u201d this podcast details. An Earwolf production, \u201cBeautiful Stories from Anonymous People\u201d is, perhaps, my all-time favorite podcast. In truth, it was the podcast that actually got me into the medium and remains one that I always recommend to others. It is a wonderfully unpredictable and utterly compelling series about real people\u2019s triumph and tumult–stories of daring exploration, deeply hidden secrets and unbridled love. \u201cBeautiful Stories from Anonymous People\u201d is hosted by Chris Gethard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Hilarious World of Depression\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Aired: Nov. 30, 2016<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is truly admirable about \u201cThe Hilarious World of Depression\u201d is that it encourages conversation about a real<\/strong>— often stigmatized–disease through honest, and at times, comedic discussion. \u201cVeteran humorist and public radio host\u201d John Moe, who has personally faced depression, invites successful and well-known personalities like actress Hannah Hart<\/a>, author John Green<\/a> and, yes, comedian Chris Gethard<\/a> to openly divulge their life story.  This includes their experiences with depression and other mental illnesses. Though it is by no means a legitimate substitute for treatments such as therapy or medication, \u201cThe Hilarious World of Depression\u201d showcases that one is never alone. This podcast inspires action and provides ample insight into mental illness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/strong>Cocaine and Rhinestones\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Aired: Oct. 24, 2017<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosted by Tyler Mahan Coe, the son of musician David Allan Coe, \u201cCocaine and Rhinestones\u201d illustrates in great detail the intriguing and captivating history of 20th-century country music. Episodes greatly vary in their topics; one depicts the true, grueling tale of Spade Cooley<\/a>, a popular fiddler player in the 1930s who ravenously murdered his wife, while another talks about the strange and unprecedented disappearance of Bobbie Gentry<\/a>, a pioneering, female singer-songwriter who quickly ascended to fame in the 1960s with songs such as \u201cOde to Billy Joe.\u201d This podcast is certainly recommended for avid music lovers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGetting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Aired: Dec. 15, 2015<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who, much like myself, adored \u201cQueer Eye\u2019s\u201d Jonathan Van Ness, may I present to you this podcast. Each week, \u201cGetting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness\u201d delves into various social issues, such as the environment<\/a> or the pandemic<\/a>, and each episode features experts in their respective fields. Van Ness wonderfully features an array of guests, for he has not only interviewed his fellow Fab Five members<\/a>, but also acclaimed celebrities<\/a>, musicians<\/a> and comedians<\/a>. Overall, \u2018Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness\u201d explores these themes in a delightfully upbeat and educational manner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuncan Trussell Family Hour\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Aired: Feb. 12, 2012<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarkably, The Netflix series \u201cThe Midnight Gospel\u201d was founded on this very podcast. \u201c[The] Duncan Trussell Family Hour\u201d podcast is hosted by comedian Duncan Trussel. In light-hearted fashion, it comedically tackles abstract ideas, ranging from drugs to spirituality and meditation. This podcast boasts an array of interesting rhetoric from interviews, ranging from fellow comedians like Joe Rogan and wellness experts like Raghu Markus. This podcast almost serves to expand one\u2019s consciousness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot Another DND Podcast\u201d <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Aired: Feb. 2, 2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calling on all wizards, warlocks and mythical beings in between! Headed by comedy writer and professed \u201cTolerator of Goofs\u201d Brian Murphy, \u201cNot Another D&D Podcast\u201d features Emily Axford, Jake Hurwitz and Caldwell Tanner as Moonshine Cybin, Hardwon Surefoot and Beverly Toegold V–three courageous adventurers that chart the untamed realm known as Bahumia. \u201cNot Another DND Podcast\u201d was recommended to me by a dear friend and is chock full of hilarious, memorable quotes (like, \u201cOppah Aladdin Style\u201d and \u201cGet pawpaw, get or you’re gonna get kicked!”) and silly schemes that never fail to entertain and make one laugh relentlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
