The B. S. Report
Designed for the sports fan with a sense of humor, the B. S. Report is hosted by the sportswriter Bill Simmons. It’s not uncommon for him to go almost a whole show without even mentioning sports.
Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me
The show is a news program in the form of a game show. Each week a group of humorists and writers join host Peter Sagal in Chicago, where they are quizzed on the week’s most important and funny news stories. Listeners also get to call in to play different news related games for a prize.
The Moth
The Moth is a weekly podcast run by a nonprofit art organization. The show is made up of recordings of “true story told before a live audience without notes”. Each week, the group releases short 10-20 minute tales told by people from all walks of life. Past presenters have included writers, comedians, scientists and even New York City police officers.
Filmspotting
Filmspotting is a weekly podcast and is a must-listen for any movie fan. The show is focused on movie reviews, but hosts Adam Kempenaar and Matty Robinson do more than just tell their listeners which new movie is worth seeing, they also discuss and examine the film as an art form. The show doesn’t focus on current movies, either, as the hosts frequently discuss old films as part theme marathons.
