If these days you answer the question "How are you?" with an emphatic "Not great!", Scaachi Koul hosts just the podcast for you. Scaachi is a culture writer for BuzzFeed and author of the essay collection One Day We'll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter. She hosts the aptly titled Not Great With Scaachi Koul, a podcast covering politics, culture and society through interviews and comedy. She also happens to be a good pal of of our host Elamin. She recently joined Elamin from her home in New York City to introduce us to her favourite podcasts.

These two had such a good chat we couldn't put it all into one show. Part 2 of Scaachi's favourites will be online and on your radio next week!

This week we're featuring: Not Great with Scaachi Koul, Swindled, This Matters and Reply All. For more podcast recommendations, check out: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/podcastplaylist
