Podcasts are often at their most brilliant when they’re completely and utterly original. Sometimes, this rolls into the absolutely absurd – and ‘My Dad Wrote a Porno’ is a prime example. When UK host Jamie Morton found out his dad had written an erotic novel, aptly named ‘Belinda Blinked’, he had actually been handed a new concept for a podcast. Each episode, he reads out a chapter with his pals James Cooper and Adam Levine, and the three howl with laughter (as will you).
Yes, there are a lot of serious podcasts out there. Political podcasts. Meaty deep-dives. Techy, sciencey stuff. But there’s a whole market out there of people who just want to laugh – and we mean really laugh. The kind of laugh that makes everyone on the train stare at you. You know the ones.
So for those of you after a chuckle, we’ve drawn up a definitive list of the most hilarious podcasts out there, from world-famous comedians to messy divorces (and a guy who literally reads out his dad’s erotic novel). The best thing about this genre is how diverse it is, as unlike politics, funny people can make pretty much anything funny. Ready to giggle? The list awaits. Enjoy, folks.
