Podcasts are a form of fictional or nonfictional storytelling online, which have been around since at least 2004, but it wasn\u2019t until 2017 that they started rising in popularity. The sheer amount of podcasts available can be daunting when approaching. So, I have compiled a list of what I believe are some of the best podcasts in 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u201cAnd That\u2019s Why We Drink\u201d: This, in my opinion, has the perfect blend of genres to listen to. This podcast features two friends, Christine and Emily, who drink wine and milkshakes while discussing true crime stories and ghost stories, all while having playful banter and providing lots of comedic relief. A good laugh, while intertwined with dark and interesting history.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. \u201cSpooked\u201d: Hosted by Glynn Washington, this podcast immerses the listener with tales of the supernatural, while incorporating scary sound effects to create an absolutely chilling tale of horror. These are also based on nonfictional experiences, and the reactions of those dealing with ghosts is interesting to hear.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. \u201cSooo Many White Guys\u201d: Contrary to the title of this podcast, it features those who are not white guys, allowing artists who are women and people of color on the show to discuss difficult subject matter, like obstacles which heterosexual white men can avoid. The host, comedian Phoebe Robinson, jokes casually with her guests, and makes listeners feel like they are sitting right there.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. \u201cGay Future\u201d: This fictional podcast covers a hilarious dystopian society in 2062 where everyone is gay, except for Mikey Pence who must save the world from the authoritarian gay agenda. It flips homophobia upside down but isn\u2019t hurtful or snarky. It is an interesting listen and incredibly fast-paced.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. \u201cBlackout\u201d: This is a post-apocalyptic thriller with Rami Malek as the host, intertwining authentic audio that instills fear into the listeners. This fictional tale set in New Hampshire after a nationwide power outage; is a truly unsettling podcast that is interesting every step of the way.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
