Podcasts are great for long drives, long walks and every other occasion and these are the six you should be listening to.
Sports
For sports fans, ESPN has got you covered. The worldwide leader has some of the best sports podcasts available.
“Mike and Mike”:
The “Mike and Mike” morning podcast is a staple amongst ESPN Radio faithful.
The podcast begins bright and early every morning and is perfect for a long work commute. Featuring former NFL player Mike Golic and former sports reporter Mike Greenberg, the show is both entertaining and enlightening, as the two effortlessly play off each other.
Though they often disagree, Greenberg and Golic still educate their audience. Golic gives insight on the athlete’s perspective, and Greenberg provides insight to public opinion and the journalist’s perspective.
The “Mike and Mike” podcast always brings good, self-aware discussion and great guests to the table, making waking up in the morning a bit more bearable.
“Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz”:
If “Mike and Mike” are self-aware, Dan Le Batard and his crew are meta beyond belief.
The “Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz” podcast is the strangest, most unpredictable yet entertaining sports talk radio show airing right now. Le Batard and his co-host Stugotz make fun of everything, including and especially themselves.
Based in Miami, the show tends to deviate from sports and enter into hot topics and social commentary, a fact the hosts hilariously reflect by reading angry tweets from fans. Crazy and irreplaceable, the show never takes itself seriously, and provides hours of laugh out loud sports and entertainment.
Entertainment
For entertainment fans, there are endless podcast possibilities for the latest news in the pop culture world. Here are the two that deliver just that and with style.
“The Read”:
Kid Fury and Crissle have tapped into something special with their weekly podcast “The Read.”
Kid Fury and Crissle, from Miami and Oklahoma City, respectively, are two New York transplants who deliver entertainment news in the most hysterical ways possible. The podcast features a selection of the craziest hot topics of the week, often insane listener letters and a “read” in which Kid Fury and Crissle sound off about something they deem ridiculous. Brutally honest and irresistible, Kid Fury and Crissle make “The Read” one of the best podcasts around.
“Dormtainment”:
The “Dormtainment” crew have made their name making funny YouTube videos, which they’ve now transferred successfully into an equally funny podcast.
“Dormtainment” is made up of Chaz Miller, Cameron Miller, Amanuel Richards, Jerome “Rome” Green, Mike Anthony and Daunte “Tay” Dier, six guys with distinct personalities who manage to create some quality content. The “Dormtainment” podcast features personal stories, riotous delivery of entertainment news and frank discussions that make it highly listenable.
