4. SmartLess

Why this podcast?

For a slightly different flavour, Smartness with the easy to listen to Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes is a breath of fresh air as each episode they interview a new celebrity who they are usually friends with or connected to in some or other way and so you get a very different type of informal, usually hilarious, look behind the scenes and into the life of some famous people we enjoy in movies or shows or even sport and politics. The banter between the hosts and the guests makes this a fun way to just relax and soak it in.

"SmartLess" with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, & Will Arnett is a podcast that connects and unites people from all walks of life to learn about shared experiences through thoughtful dialogue and organic hilarity. A nice surprise: in each episode of SmartLess, one of the hosts reveals his mystery guest to the other two. What ensues is a genuinely improvised and authentic conversation filled with laughter and newfound knowledge to feed the SmartLess mind.

5. Poetry Unbound

Why this podcast?

For Poetry lovers, this is something for you, but even if you aren't particularly into poetry, the soothing strains of Pádraig Ó Tuama as he features a range of poets in much shorter podcasts will draw you in. These serve as a bit of a filelr usually between around 10 and 12 minutes as a new poet shares their poem with some engagement. A beautiful addition to your Playlist.

4.9

Short and unhurried, Poetry Unbound is an immersive exploration of a single poem, hosted by Pádraig Ó Tuama. Pádraig Ó Tuama greets you at the doorways of brilliant poems, and invites you to meet them with stories of your world. The poems are eager to meet you, too. For season 8, we have poems about beasts (dung beetles, horses, eagles and ourselves as well); poems with tensions between parents and children; poems about kingdoms and memories of the dead. There is translation, culture, erotica, water, mortality, and morality. Already a listener? There’s also a book (Poetry Unbound: 50 Poems to Open Your World), a Substack newsletter with a vibrant conversation in the comments and occasional gatherings.
