If you binge-watched all that Netflix has to offer, you probably branched out into the wise world of podcasts in 2022. It’s not surprising, to be honest, as plenty of recent TV shows are based on hugely successful podcast series.
Take Disney+’s The Dropout, which tracks the rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced former CEO of Theranos. The series is based on a podcast of the same name, presented by Rebecca Jarvis'(a journalist from ABC News). Loved Anne Hathaway and Jared Leto starring in Apple TV+’s WeCrashed? Well, you can tune into Lee Eisenberg and Drew Crevello’s podcast series, which charts all the highs and lows of Adam’s egoistic leadership of WeWork.
If you’re looking for niche listening, where else can you hear South Asian BFFs talk about the topic of sex so candidly than the podcast Brown Girls Do It Too? Have a particular penchant for ghost stories? Ghoul Guide with Rachel Fairburn is one for you.
Or, if you haven’t already heard right now, Emily Ratajkowski has taken over 2022 with her podcast, High Low with EmRata.
Of course, if you need a bit of ~respite~ from the chaotic stories that have taken over our streaming platforms, you can also choose to engage in a bit of wellness… in podcast form. Try Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place, Maintenance Phase, or Go Love Yourself.
So, if we have learnt anything from 2022, it’s that podcasts have reigned supreme. So before a whole new wave of podcasts takes over next year, we recommend listening to some of our favourite podcasts of 2022.
