10 Best Podcast Episodes Of 2019

For so many, part of our daily routine involves listening to a podcast or two. Whether that's during a work commute, as something to kill the time at your job, as part of your relaxing time, or merely as background noise, the majority of us find podcasts as part of our everyday habits.

The world of podcasts is one that's constantly growing, with so many topics of both fiction and fact covered across a huge array of shows. Whatever you're into, there's a podcast for that.

Love your movies? There's a podcast for that. Love your sports? There's a podcast for that. Love your real life drama? There's a podcast for that. Love your true crime? There's a podcast for that. Love your spooky shenanigans? There's a podcast for that. Love your history of garden gnomes? You get where we're going with this... and seriously, that gnome pod does exist.

What's been assembled here, then, are ten of the most must-listen podcasts to have been heard in 2019.

Of course, this list is all the opinion of just one person who couldn't possibly have listened to every episode of every podcast out there in the online ether - so be sure to chime in with any suggested pod episodes that struck a chord with you in 2019.

To be honest, this list could easily just be filled with episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience. In a podcast world where we've all got our own particular tastes and interests, it seems unanimous that everybody loves The Joe Rogan Experience - as shown by the show's high ranking on podcast charts across the globe.

Rogan has offered up so many memorable episodes of his show across 2019, and one of the true highlights of The Joe Rogan Experience from the past year is Kevin Smith's return to the podcast this past October.

Smith himself is a legendary talker and host in his own right, and Rogan matches the filmmaker on that front. As such, just the idea of having these two in the same room is enough to get listeners excited. And in #1372 of The Joe Rogan Experience, Smith and Rogan didn't disappoint.

The Joe Rogan Experience has been used as a political platform, has been responsible for a drop in Tesla stock, and has even been cited as the main influence behind this year's 'Storm Area 51' campaign. What the podcast never fails to be, however, is an entertaining listen.

For Kevin Smith's appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, there was plenty of talk about Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, yet there was a whole wider array of topics covered, such as Smith's heart attack and previous health issues, his longstanding bromance with Jason Mewes, and his genuine appreciation of his fanbase.
