Comic, MMA expert and Bow-hunter Joe Rogan brings you JRE or the Joe Rogan Experience. Packed with top-tier guests from a wide range of disciplines, this podcast will always remain on our list of all-time greats. There is a reason it will always chart in the top 10.

Author, Tim Ferris brought us best-sellers such as the famous “4-hour workweek” and “Tools for Titans” and his podcast continues to bring us the best tips and tricks for improvement using self-experimentation. The New York Times call him a mix between Jack Welch and a Buddhist monk. This podcast will no doubt have you thinking differently and thinking bigger after every episode. Definitely one to subscribe too.
Intercepted with Jeremy Scahill
Jeremy Scahill is an American investigative journalist and founding editor of The Intercept. His book “Dirty Wars” was also made into one of our favourite documentaries. Intercepted follows along the same lines and discusses some of the most crucial issues of our time with interviews from artists, thinkers and other newsmakers. If you want to hear the truth, subscribe to Intercepted. It’s simply brilliant.
Slow Burn – Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.
In its first two seasons, Slow Burn from Slate looked at two of the biggest stories of recent times. The Watergate Scandal and the impeachment of President Clinton. Season 3 follows dives deeper into one of music’s biggest tragedies. The case is still unsolved and this podcast puts you right back into the thick of the action with lots of new discussion points. We also love that episode titles are named after the tracks from the artist’s back catalogue. If you like Hip Hop, you can’t miss this one.
Rumble with Michael Moore
The new podcast from academy award documentary maker Michael Moore. It offers a humourous yet subversive take on current affairs with fantastic guests such as Robert de Niro. We’re very excited to see how far this podcast goes. If you liked his films, you’ll love “Rumble”.
