Hilarious Podcasts You Should Listen to in 2019

Here are three hilarious podcasts that are well worth incorporating into your playlist.

WTF Podcast With Marc Maron. Marc Maron is everywhere these days, especially since his stellar work on GLOW, but he’s nothing new. His podcast has been running for nearly a decade now, and with over 1000 episodes under his belt there’s much to catch up on. His brand of comedy can be obscene at times, but it’s intellectual comedy at its best, and well worth exploring.


That’s How I Remember It. Have you ever told a story but forgot some of the details? Have you ever done the same thing with a movie plot? Well, that’s exactly what happens when a group of four improv artists get together and to their best to recount the storylines from classic movies. Their efforts are seldom accurate, but always hilarious.


My Dad Wrote a Porno. You’ll perhaps cut your family some slack and feel a little less embarrassed by your parents after a few episodes of My Dad Wrote a Porno. Some time ago host Jamie Morton found out his dad wrote a collection of erotic novels, so he did what anyone who values their sanity would do, he read them. With the help of his best friends Alice Levine and Adam Cooper, and the occasional use of sultry British accents, Morton reads one chapter each week to his insatiable audience.

Hilarious Reads That Deserve More Attention

The world of comedy fiction has plenty to offer when it comes to hilarious reads, and sometimes it’s easy to overlook a few gems. Here are two hilarious reads that are definitely deserving of more attention.


Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams. Often overshadowed by The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency is a series of books that was recently adapted into a television series starring Samuel Barnett and Elijah Wood among others. Douglas Adams passed away before completing The Salmon of Doubt, the third book in the trilogy after The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul but it’s still well worth a read, padded with hilarious essays from throughout Adams’ career. Although decidedly darker than The Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy, the books are nothing short of hilarious and well deserving of more attention.


Hogfather by Terry Pratchett. The 20th book in his Discworld series, Pratchett tells the tale of the mythical creature known as the Hogfather, who bears striking semblance to our very own Father Christmas. That is, Pratchett tells the tale of the Hogfather’s absence… With nobody to grant children’s wishes and bring them presents on Hogswatchnight (December 32), Death attempts to fill in for the missing Hogfather while Susan Sto Helit, his granddaughter, attempts to find and rescue him. Although Pratchett’s Discworld series as a whole is well loved, this installment in particular is well worth a closer look.
