Best New Podcasts

[SpotifyPodcasts]

We listen to a lot of podcasts. It's our job, after all. But even outside of the workday, we listen. Whether we're on a walk, out for a drive, making dinner, gaming, doing backflips, whatever-- we're always listening to shows. It adds up to a ton of listening, so we're always looking for new episodes to keep our ears fed.

As it turns out, listening to hundreds of podcasts is the easy part. Finding new shows to listen to, however, is hard. We couldn't find one place that consistently had the latest podcasts.  That’s why we created the Podcast New Releases page on Spotify. 

We find new podcasts, new seasons of shows you already love, and new episodes for you to check out--  All in one place! We also present a selection of trailers of up-and-coming shows so you can get a sneak peek and decide if they're for you. One of our favorite collections is called “Around the World”, and it features podcasts from-- you guessed it-- around the world.  There you’ll find English language podcasts as well as shows in other languages. 

We refresh the page every WEDNESDAY so check back every week for new recommendations.

Here’s a few of our favorite new shows featured in the last few months:

Back Issue - That Time Y'all Played Too Much

https://open.spotify.com/episode/0KxJUdnnrTlnWjq1WkQUk9?si=1q3qulpDS3-ARhJFH8soXg&dl_branch=1

Back Issue returned from hiatus strong with their second season. Their episodes take us back and IT 👏 HITS 👏 EVERY 👏 TIME 🕺.  If you haven’t listened to the first season, don’t worry, you can start at any episode.

The Imposters: The Commander 

https://open.spotify.com/episode/7fsXgTCDXDzhRRyNRJGNER?si=vYGM-6l_SnebSGYBRWTXyQ&dl_branch=1

The Imposter came back, also with their second season. We won't give away any of the drama from the latest episodes, but I’ll be honest, it makes us want to stay single.

The Ringer Reality TV Podcast 

https://open.spotify.com/show/3sW9WGTVb8XLDUUqo1j7GK?si=-b5xCIfMSDyl_LZ6E-VXlw&dl_branch=1

Speaking of dating, here’s a podcast that discusses a group of people who are definitely NOT afraid of dating.  This podcast currently has Bachelor in Paradise, The Challenge and now Real Housewives recaps.  It’s like getting three shows for one!

Strawberry Spring

https://open.spotify.com/episode/1peqFLbjqz021jvCatG03x?si=zlpLNoeXR3u25GgvsqoF0w&dl_branch=1

If you are looking for a scary story, Strawberry Spring just came out.  This is a fiction podcast based on the short story by the legendary Stephen King.  Don’t listen before bed. Or do, at your own risk.

Suspect

https://open.spotify.com/episode/657rCsQ8GNma557z5sZ5sY?si=s9JEjVabSMWWAZ1JVDZYcQ&dl_branch=1

Need some True Crime? Check out Suspect. A woman is murdered after her Halloween party and everyone is a suspect until police zero in on one guy, but did he do it? Don't ask us, we're still listening 😉  

Witch, Please

https://open.spotify.com/episode/5tWyXlca0GQz7rHmaBR2Ez?si=ZUASsWBMSE2v1e_GYjzeNA&dl_branch=1

And for the Spanish speakers out there, our Latinx Editor gives this show two thumbs up!

We hope you'll be spending as much time in the New Releases page as we will-- we'll be working hard to bring you some new heat each and every Wednesday.
