This is a list of the best podcasts of 2019. I've discovered a lot of new podcasts this year and compiled them into a list of the best of the best. There are a ton of great new podcasts this year, so this list could have been the "top 500 podcasts of 2019" but I decided to limit it to the best 25 podcasts. I may incrementally increase that number when I find a podcast that has to be added to the list. I hope you enjoy this list. I've included a bunch of different categories including comedy, documentary, discussion, news, and other genres. Some of these need to be streamed from the beginning, while others you can jump into any episode and enjoy.
