3. "Artists on Artists on Artists on Artists"

If Kylie Brakeman's comedy sketches on Twitter got you through 2020, then get even more laughs from her by tuning into this improvised roundtable podcast. Topics covered by the gaggle of improvised industry characters include the SAG-AFTRA strike, celebrity apology videos, Netflix reality shows, personal assistants, and more!

This stacked podcast doesn’t release until the 21st of July, but it’s already gearing up to be a hit.

If you consider yourself a film nerd, an Awards Season enthusiast, or both, "Next Best Picture" is the podcast for you. A production of the film review and news site by the same name, this show does it all, from interviewing actors and directors to offering comprehensive reviews of new releases. Keep your eyes out for the episodes they’ll have on Barbie and Oppenheimer following the release of the films later this month! 

8. "Pod Meets World"
