Do you want to forget about the state of the world and the fact that you have been staying home for over a year? Well, there are plenty of entertaining podcasts out there that can help bring you out of your funk.

Here we introduce you to five podcasts where the hosts talk about topics that bring about joy and passion. The world of these podcasts is a happy place to escape to. These shows, in no particular order, are Best Friends with Sasheer Zamata and Nicole Byer, Unhappy Hour with Matt Bellassai, Thirst Aid Kit with Nicole Perkins and Bim Adewunmi, The Bald and The Beautiful with Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamo, and Sweet Boys with Garrett and Andrew.

What all these podcasts have in common is that they are run by hosts that are best friends, comedians or creatives, and people who are discussing topics they love. To pass the time during this pandemic, many of us have clung to hobbies to make it through some grueling weeks, days, or months. Finding activities and topics that you are passionate about makes life more meaningful. People love to talk about what they are passionate about and being around passionate people is uplifting.

The podcasts listed here will uplift you, or at least temporarily make you smile. The hosts really care about and enjoy what they are talking about. We hope their passion reminds you that you can always find a new passion that can help you escape from the scariness of the world. Continue to the next slide and find your new favorite podcast!
