Best Podcasts 2018: 21 Fresh Podcasts You Should Be Listening to Right Now

The topical roastfest that you listen to while you’re waiting for Desus and Mero’s new late-night show to premiere on Showtime next year.

N.O.R.E. (of hip-hop duo Capone-N-Noreaga) has this hilarious and clearly drunk podcast where every rapper I ever grew up listening to (and other hood luminaries) come through, drink, and talk to N.O.R.E. and his co-host, DJ EFN, about anything and everything. There’s some yelling and some slurred words, but N.O.R.E. having the access that he has makes this podcast unique—people loosen up around him. It’s a shit show, but a fun one…not like that time you told your parents at Thanksgiving that you were liquidating your trust fund to explore Slovenia with a girl you met online, who may or may not have been a black-market organ harvester. —The Kid Mero, Bodega Boys
