Podcasts are awesome, there’s no script and all dialogue is pure reaction just people acting like real people. But what is a podcast you’re wondering? Why it’s a live stream where people talk about specific topics. But finding a podcast to watch can be difficult so here’s a stress free guide to the best podcast experience.

First things first, you want to know who is in the podcast so that you can relate to them better. This part isn’t necessary for the experience, but it’s a good place to start if you aren’t sure about a podcast. Keep in mind that that person might act way different then they do on social media and television than in podcasts, it’s entirely possible that their opinion is vastly different than yours which brings us to the next step keeping an open mind.
