2021 is the year of podcasts for me

They've literally saved my mental health through my seasonal depression

Here are some of my recommendations :

Face Jam

Concept: Two dudes go to fast food restaurants and try the limited edition foods, and give you their comments on the whole experience

NOTE: They do NOT eat during the podcast, they eat beforehand, so no munching noises. They post photos of the food on their Twitter, but it isn't necessary to understand the episode (I personally look at the photos afterwards).

Why you should listen: It is so fucking funny, and relaxing, and you don't need to know anything about food or these dudes to enjoy it. You don't need to listen to them in order, but it can help understand some references.

Black Box Down

Concept: Airplane crashes and accidents explained and discussed

NOTE: don't listen to this while on a plane, unless you enjoy being very anxious? They do post some images on their Twitter if they reference a photo or a graph, so it may be best to listen when you can look at your phone.

Why you should listen: I am personally fascinated with plane-related accidents, but even if you aren't, this podcast does a very good job of explaining everything. If you are in anyway curious about air disasters, this is the one for you.

Annual Pass

Concept: An avid theme park enthusiast and his friend discuss parks, rides and all amusement news

NOTE: There is only one episode out as of April 23rd, so you can listen to them as they come out. They hope to be able to travel to theme parks when health restrictions permit.

Why you should listen: First of all, the main host, Jack, is an absolute sweetheart. His genuine love for all things Disney and Universal and Six Flags is contagious and you can't help but be charmed right away. That said, if you care about amusement parks at all, this podcast is very interesting with news and behind the scenes info, especially as Jack worked at Walt Disney World for years, and they have a segment where they interview someone related to either a ride or a theme park. And even if you don't care about theme parks, it's a nice discussion about positivity and happiness and I would still recommend it.

The Shit Show (or Shit You Should Care About)

Concept: Discussions about things you should know about, but probably don't. Mostly related to identities, social justice, anti-capitalism and the likes.

NOTE: Some topics may make you angry at the system or uncomfortable, but you will learn so much that it is totally worth it. They also have a very active Instagram account you can follow to get a look at what they're doing.

Why you should listen: Nobody's got time to go through 12 news organisations to find the smaller news related to all the social causes you care about. The Shit Show does it for you! You can stay updated and informed about what's going on in the world and/or learn about yourself and your place in it. Truly a pearl of a podcast, that addresses serious issues in a humane, realistic, factual kind of way.

Welcome to Night Vale

Concept: Welcome to Night Vale, this quaint little village that swears it is perfectly normal, thank you very much. Except every conspiracy theory is true. And some unexplainable things started happening. And now we've got this radio show.

NOTE: It is much better than you expect. I promise, try it.

Why you should listen: Yes, it is a classic. Yes, it's been going on since 2012. Yes, there are almost 200 episodes. BUT, the beauty of it is that you can start anywhere in the series, or go back to episode one and binge. Whatever floats your boat. It is a truly unique, funny, curious artistic masterpiece that revolutionized the world of podcasts and the way people perceive them.
