Podcasts are about as ubiquitous as BBLs these days and not all of them are created equal. Everyone with a microphone and a laptop can record themselves giving their uninformed, unrequested, and unhelpful opinions about an array of topics just because they adore the sound of their own voices. On the contrary, there are those podcasters who take pride in their ability to speak on topics from a perspective of researched authority, valuable life experience, or comedic genius, and engage an audience beyond vapid vocal verisimilitude.
This list is for those folks.
The year 2023 is coming to a close and we thought it only right to give some of our favorite podcasters their wi-fi flowers.
Scottie Beam and Sylvia Obell drew audiences with their OG pod, Okay, Now Listen but their new endeavor with Issa Rae’s Raedio network sparked a rebrand with The Scottie And Sylvia Show. The fearless duo tackles all sorts of topics from culture to, womanhood, Blackness and anything else that requires a cogent and comedic voice.
Rachael Lindsay and Van Lathan have never been ones to shy away from crucial and often difficult conversations in order to provide context and information about topics that affect themselves personally and those that affect Black folks as a whole. The Higher Learning podcast is a must listen if you’re looking to get to bottom line.
