The 5 best podcasts to listen to while waiting at the airport
Jul 19, 2024
Long layovers and delayed flights are common inconveniences for travelers. With a global computer shutdown affecting schedules even more, having something entertaining to pass the time is more crucial than ever. Fortunately, podcasts offer an excellent way to entertain yourself and learn something new while waiting at the airport. Here is a list of the 5 best podcasts to keep you entertained during those dead hours.
1. Malas Personas
Why you should listen: No one is completely good or bad, and we all coexist with a dark side that lives within us, sometimes it's hidden and other times not so much. Malas Personas is a comedy podcast, presented by Victoria Martín, that talks about the gray areas of people. People we consider excellent citizens may have been despicable beings, truly infected worms, wicked and perverse at some point in their lives and that's why this program exists, for those people to confess and tell everything, because being good is overrated.
2. Bestias
Why you should listen: Beatriz de Vicente will talk to us about True Crime from a different point of view. She will address types of crimes, rare cases, and will talk about the perspective of the victim, but also the murderer, their legal implications, similar cases, and millions of things related to the most twisted part of humanity that you probably didn't even know existed. In Bestias we will learn what happened, who did it, how and where, but we will also understand the why. Concepts like cannibalism or serial killers are known to everyone, but do we really know what they mean? What types are there? How do they differ from other similar terms?
3. La Vida y Tal
Why you should listen: Do you know those friends that you annoy with audio messages telling them your dramas? Those friends you ask for advice, only to ignore them most of the time, even if their answers hurt? Those you trust because they will tell you the truth about your new bangs? Those are Ana Milán and Sebastián Gallego. That is the spirit of their podcast 'La Vida y Tal'. Anecdotes, love and heartbreak stories, what the fuck moments... surrealism and realism, pop and rock, Shakespeare and Chenoa.
4. El sentido de la birra
Why you should listen: El Sentido De La Birra is a videopodcast of talks with beer for an immense minority in which Ricardo Moya shows the closest face of public figures and brings the audience closer to unknown people with knowledge to share or a story to tell.
5. Bendita Terapia
Why you should listen: Patricia Espejo is a jack of all trades in the entertainment world: artist, comedian, and screenwriter... And she needs therapy, like everyone, but she can't afford it, like almost everyone, so she decided to make a podcast so that therapy is free for her, and to not be selfish, to offer it to all her listeners. The therapist she has found to help her navigate her emotional world is Silvia Llop: psychologist and author. Patricia's problems are everyone's, but she tells them better, with more humor, every Tuesday a new episode.
