Serial is a hugely popular podcast that tells one story week by week. Serial currently has two completed seasons with a third in the works. My favourite of the two seasons is definitely the first which tells the story of the the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee, an 18-year-old high school student in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Throughout 12 episodes host, and co-producer of the podcast, Sarah Koenig narrates her investigation into the whereabouts of Adnan Seyd, Lee's ex-boyfriend who was convicted for the murder, during 21 minutes on the afternoon of January 13, 1999. This podcast is completely addicting and the only thing you can be certain of is that you can't be certain of anything.
If you're well versed in the would of YouTube you'll no doubt have come across videos by Ingrid Nilsen and Cat Valdes. These two bomb humans are the "Ladies" in the title of this podcast which is all about feminism, body image, sexuality, love and any other topic that interests them. Listening to this podcast feels like you're hanging out with two of your close friends. They're both so open and honest about topics that aren't necessarily always talked about, but are relevant and relateable to everyone. My favourite episode so far is the one about online dating because Cat gives some really good advice and interesting insight into a world that I personally have no experience with, but find fascinating.
My Dad Wrote a Porno
I think that if anyone's 60-year-old father wrote a porno they would repress the information and pretend that it did not exist- but not Jamie Morton. Instead, he decided to turn his dad's erotic novel into a podcast for the entertainment of the entire world, and for that I am eternally grateful because it is my absolute favourite podcast. The commentary of Jamie and his two best friends through the readings of each chapter is pure gold however, I do not recommend listening to this podcast public because you will laugh your ass off and people will most definitely think you're a crazy person.

Grownups Read Things They Wrote as Kids
I mean the title pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the premise of this podcast. GRTTWAK started back in 2007 and was the brain child of CBC radio's Dan Misener. Sometimes the stories are hilarious and embarrassing (those are always my favourite) and sometimes they're deeply personal and moving, but they're (usually) always thoroughly entertaining. The cool thing about this podcast is that it travels across Canada, so if GRTTWAK is coming to your city (or a city near you) you can sign up to be a part of the podcast, or you can just attend the live show and listen to the stories before they air.
That's all for right now but there will definitely be more coming soon, and if you guys have any podcasts that you love please comment and let me know!
