Comedy Podcasts
Sometimes the best podcasts are the ones where a few people just sit around and discuss different aspects of life in fun and interesting ways. Distractible
If you are looking for a unique podcast with just three dudes sitting in a room talking about life, then you have come to the right place. Distractible is a podcast hosted by Mark Fischbach, Wade Barnes, and Bob Muyskens. These individuals are close friends who are usually known for their individual YouTube channels, especially Mark who is famously known as Markiplier. The guys like to come together to share their stories and interesting views on life. The concept of the podcast seems simple as the guys discuss different topics each episode, such as aging and pet stories. Yet they always know how to keep it new and fresh. Since the guys are very close they are really good about matching each other’s energy and getting on each other’s nerves in all the right ways. The humor can be crude and vulgar, but for me, that didn’t take away from the unique and fun conversation. The episodes never fail to make me smile and always seem to get a chuckle out of me. I’m never left feeling bored or unsatisfied while listening to this podcast. I highly recommend you check out Distractible if a discussion podcast with a twist is something that piques your interest.

Two Dykes and a Mic
Rachel Scanlon and McKenzie Goodwin host this hilarious podcast. The two lesbians cover an extreme range of different topics, from talking about queer media, to their own queer experiences. They even have guests on the show who are popular in the queer community, such as fellow comedians and influencers. All of their segments are pretty much exclusively LGBTQ+ and are extremely relatable for anyone in the community. Scanlon and Goodwin riff off each other and their experiences as queer women in ways that have had me crying with laughter. Every one of their hour-long episodes is a total ab workout for me! As podcast hosts, they are everything audiences want them to be and more. They are talented comedy personalities that never lose their relatable edge. Two Dykes and a Mic is a must-listen for everyone and is released once a week. Get ready to laugh, and go find it on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
