Featured Article: 10 of the Best New Podcasts of 2022


It was another great year for podcasts, with a remarkable rise in both production quality and quantity of listening gems. Whether factual or anecdotal, sensational or deadpan, podcasts have a unique way of catering to any niche, no matter how specific. We were lucky to hear a lot of new podcasts this year, from the scripted and immersive to more relaxed, conversational pods, but we managed to narrow them down to the 10 most impactful and influential among our editors and listeners.

I was hooked as soon as i started listening to Anderson Coopers podcast. It hits home on how people struggle with grief when someone very dear passes away.
I struggle with grief because I didn't get to say goodbye to my mother. I just got a call saying she passed. i didn't even know she was sick. My big brother just passed away in a freak accident. We have since found out he had a woman staying with him and stole his money. She was stepping over him stealing stuff before the police could stop her and my other brother could get to his home. Its just horrible.

love ❤️ Anderson!!
