30 OF THE BEST PODCASTS ON SPOTIFY
Spotify has doubled down on podcasts for 2021 and there are now more than two million podcasts on the streaming platform. So how do you choose which one to listen to? Allow us to offer some tips, with our round up of the best podcasts on Spotify for music, true crime, history, sport, entertainment, comedy and more.
Podcasts are a great way to expand your mind, from history to politics, parenting to football; there really is a podcast on just about everything. And probably with a celebrity host. Spotify has bought podcasting production companies and created a slew of exclusive series for its ‘Spotify Originals’ platform, while also hosting many of the most popular podcasts on the planet.
Our list here includes a mix of both Originals and podcasts that you can find elsewhere. It’s packed with recent podcast sensations as well as podcast gold from the past few years and, of course, there’s plenty of true crime. If you’re after something more hi-fi orientated, then take a look online at our choice of the best podcasts for music lovers.
Wind Of Change
We challenge you to read the synopsis to this one and not want to listen to all eight episodes immediately. “It’s 1990. The Berlin Wall just fell. The Soviet Union is on the verge of collapse. And the soundtrack to the revolution is by the Scorpions. Decades later, journalist Patrick Radden Keefe heard a rumour: the song wasn’t written by the Scorpions. It was written by the CIA. This is his journey to find the truth.” We’re happy to report that the podcast is every bit as good as it sounds.
