It all started three years ago with a show called The Read. It's been history ever since...
If you have had multiple conversations with me, you'll probably hear me reference something that I heard on a podcast. I love podcast. I listen to them while I drive, walk, and even while at work. The way people watch television, is how I listen to podcast. I enjoy listening to talented and interesting people talk, and I can turn them off once I've had enough.
Podcast are mentioned in my daily life often, and teach me a lot of the stuff that I know. I've been inspired to write on multiple occasions because of what I listen to. Usually Wednesdays and Thursdays are when my favorite podcast are uploaded. I look forward to these days. It's kind of pathetic, but hey! It's now to the point where I would rather drive to podcast than listen to music.
Enough about my love affair. Here's some of my favorite shows:
The Read: Crissle and Kid Fury.
I love this show so much, because it's free conversation about stuff that I would probably converse with some of my friends about, and it's all unfiltered. What better way? Plus, they're both funny as hell. This is not for the easily offended. Listen at your own discretion.
I'll Name This Podcast Later: Joe Budden, Marissa Mendez, and Rory.
This podcast has the least bit of structure of them all, and that's exactly why I like it. It's like listening to my friends talk. I can't usually relate to any of it, but I enjoy it, and that's enough for me. Often times they'll dive into topics of hip-hop, and who doesn't want to hear a rapper talk about rap? These are my homies in my head.
The Friendzone Podcast: Dustin Ross, Fran, and Assante.
The oddest grouping of them all, but it works! This podcast is a weekly dose of mental health, mental hygiene because who in the hell wants a musty brain? I don't. This podcast is all about bettering yourself. Weekly they provide tips of taking care of yourself in the dopest way possible. This is the show that'll have you at the health store after you listen. Thanks, Fran!
The Rap Radar Podcast: Elliot Wilson and B. Dot Miller
The hip-hop head in me loves everything about this podcast. It's all about music, nothing else! Hip-Hop journalist takeover the podcast game with new guest every week to give us the interview we probably wouldn't get anywhere else. I relate a lot to B. Dot in the fact that I don't like much of current music, and I'm not afraid to say it. This podcast has the best guest. They do it right.
The Brilliant Idiots: Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz
I think we're all brilliant idiots: smart, but sometimes we don't know what the hell we're talking about. That's just life. Each week Charlamagne and Andrew give us their brilliant insight on what is happening in the world using comedy and sometimes their not so intellectual intellect. Always hilarious. It's a perfect pairing.
These are just a few of my favorites, but there's many more. I hope you check them out!
