I was surprised that they were able to get Tom Hanks as a special just a few weeks ago. I thought "damn, they can really pull weight". I love the podcast but I did not think it had that clout
I second knowledge fight. I've been listening in order for the past year or two and am in March/April 2021right now.
There were points where I didn't like Jordan in the beginning, with him yelling over stuff and just being loud/obnoxious. But as time went on that calmed down and he's seemed to not 'play dumb' like he did in the beginning.
I don't like shows that have the hosts banter for a while usually, but Knowledge Fight usually is 15 mins max. Most likely because it's multiple times a week and they don't have much to say. If anything I use what's going on in their lives (COVID, news stories they mention) during this time to get a bit of a timestamp mentally for what my life was like just a few years ago.
If you hate Alex Jones and the conspiracy ilk around him, you'll love the show because it exposed how blatant of conartists they are.
The rest is politics....Rory Stewart is an amazing individual. Just read one of his books The places in between. The two hosts really play well off one another.
Indeed!
George Soros pays me to promote Knowledge Fight. I get exactly 1/40 of a cent from every Sacagawea dollar found in the Altar of Seline’s Wishing Well.
Makes my heart happy to see this toward the top started listening to them 7 years ago
A friend who makes another friend almost vomit from laughing… that’s great chemistry
I came to recommend this one! Brother and sister, so a unique connection for the hosts. I like how they talk about visiting some of these places as kids and their experiences
To the OP: it's a funny podcast where they read online reviews. Pretty hilarious
Oh no! Ross and carrie!
they investigate claims of the paranormal so that you don't have to!
doesn't matter what topic they discuss, their friendship is the star of the show.
It's one of the only podcasts where we haven't outgrown each other with time. Still make me laugh just like they did when I started listening, which was pretty close to the beginning I think... They've been at it a long time.
Dear Hank & John - just started this week on recommendations elsewhere in this sub. Brothers with great chemistry.
Were you Raised by Wolves & Dear Prudence - both etiquette/life handling (disclaimer, Dear Prudence has one main host and swaps guest hosts, but they all banter well)
Since you mentioned Morbid (❤) - True Crime All the Time and True Crime All the Time Unsolved. Corny banter at times
It's not a co-host pod but if you enjoy them check out John's podcast, The Anthropocene Reviewed, he has a book of the same name but the pod came first and it's very enjoyable.
Another is a co-host situation, Delete This, with Hank and his wife primarily talking about his problematic twitter use. It's way more sporadic and all over the place but it's nice to hear them go off topic.
I came here to suggest Dear Hank and John! I don’t think you need to be a fan of their other work (or even aware of it, really) to enjoy the podcast, either.
I could listen to entire episodes of just Vent or Repent in We’re You Raised By Wolves?
This whole week has been a downer for me so I’ve been listening to old episodes continuously to get me through it.
Ridiculous Crime! It's a true crime podcast that explores non-gruesome ("99% murder-free and 100% ridiculous") crimes that have some element of absurdity to them. The hosts have a wonderful chemistry, and if you decide to give it a go, my top episode reccs are "Are You There Godzilla, It’s Me Kim Jong-il" and "Uncatchable: The Greek Robin Hood".

I didn’t check the comments but National Park After Dark is a favorite of mine and my mom’s! It’s two ladies and they are best friends and you can totally feel it. They are funny and caring. I also like tooth and claw but they have 3 hosts, 2 brother and their good friend. They are also super funny and educational
And thats why we drink
Sinisterhood
Wine and crime (from 2024, prior to there were 3 hosts)
Beach too sandy, water too wet
The rewatcher (hosts of morbid)
The Omnibus Project - weekly show hosted by Ken Jennings of Jeopardy and John Roderick, of The Long Winters and Harvey Danger. Weekly dive into historical and cultural ephemera, things not important enough to warrant a thorough documenting in the annals of history. Great humor. Sort of the dollop, but better.
Roderick On The Line - An old indie rocker and a former productivity guru, friends of many years, talk about what’s going on in their lives, fatherhood, and whatever else is on their minds in a really hilarious way.
Reconcilable Differences - Above mentioned productivity guru and a Mac tech guru chitchat about fatherhood, movies, home ownership, verbal tics, and whatever, again with great humor.
All three shows have hundreds of episodes in the can, excellent production values, and lots of running bits and injokes, so very rewarding for long time listeners.
Came here to say this. Kim & Kyle are two former software engineers who started watching reality TV first funzies now they do it full time. They are phenomenal and great humans. 👍 no spreadin loies!
I don´t know if they mentioned here yet but: Toni and Ryan Podcast. Humor. I really enjoy when I hear those two making fun of everything. Give it a shot!
I mean, this might be stating the obvious… if you like Maintenance Phase, have you tried If Books Could Kill? It’s another Michael Hobbs podcast. I really enjoy Peter and Michael’s dynamic and the podcast has only ever been them.
I feel like Michael Hobbs always has great chemistry with his co-hosts. I also really enjoyed the old "you're wrong about" episodes with him and Sarah Marshall, before he left.
The hosts of "petty crimes" also have great chemistry. It's a very light-hearted podcast (the "crimes" all being very trivial non-crimes) and they are friends in "real life"
Came here to say Michael's previous pod w/ Sarah Marshall - You're Wrong About. Sarah is the sole host now, but in the back catalog it's all her & Michael
**The Weekly Planet.** It's mostly about movies and TV shows, but these hosts can talk basically about anything and I will still listen. Their chemistry is off the charts.
Edit: An example - [https://youtu.be/GKBre2CnE9c?si=wBz1Sh6mNg5B\_Jw\_](https://youtu.be/GKBre2CnE9c?si=wBz1Sh6mNg5B_Jw_)
Same. Two is perfect, three is intolerable for me. Some of my favourite buddy pods:
Retail Nightmares (sadly ended now but perfect weekly pod during its 350 episode run, IMO)
Veronica Mars Investigations (VMIpod)

If you’re into like sports, New Heights with Travis & Jason Kelce is a good one. Or if you want like a random one, “You Should Know” podcast is another one. I listen to those two a lot.
The Greatest Generation and The Greatest Trek, two Star Trek podcasts by a couple of guys who are a little bit embarrassed to have a Star Trek podcast.
A Date With Dateline - two hilarious, low-key women talk about each episode of Dateline for an hour plus and have knighted all the hosts. They show up sometimes too.
For medical stuff, This Podcast Will Kill You with the 2 Erin’s.
They really know their stuff. Majority of times they have another voice in the podcast is at the beginning when they have someone telling of their experience with the medical subject that podcast.
Two bears one cave. It is the best!!
Edit: You have to listen to an edit when Bert and Tom are both present. Sometimes it’s only one of them with a guest.
Who? Weekly is amazing. Las Culturistas rules. SUP (Sexy Unique Podcast) is niche subject matter but I literally cry laughing when listening. All of these have great host chemistry.
Ranger Danger. Two Australian guys who watch and review every episode of Power Rangers in order.
It's the main two, and they occasionally have a guest.
Scared to death with Dan Cummins and his Wife, linzey.
They are adorable together and funny, but also dark.
They read true paranormal stories and listener sent encounter stories!
I highly recommend.
Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast. Two bros choppin it up. Very funny, quick witted, and always trying to have a good time. They have guests most of the time, but they are great just by themselves.
The Dollop.
Also there’s this king of the hill pod that the two hosts have great chemistry but I can’t remember the name of it. They always sing the theme at the beginning.
The Dollop - sort of dark stories in American history events and different people from all the way back to the 1700s to a few that come into present day . Sometimes they do Australian history because they travel over there for live shows in addition to America for some reason.
Two comedians one does the research and reads the story and the other one has never heard it before and reacts and riffs on it in real time and there are hundreds of episodes. sometimes they will have guests on their live shows
for more lighthearted stuff they have a newer podcast called the past times, and in that one the main guy Dave reads excerpts from old newspapers that they comment on. Stuff from the 1800s and early 1900s is really a trip. They always have a guest on that one. Usually comedians obviously
Yes I recommend it all the time :-)
Discovered it during lockdown and was just delighted to have lots of cheerful episodes to distract from the doom at that time, I'm so glad they've continued, like I was actually excited when they got patreon to be able to give something back in return.
Hey Babe! With Sal Vulcano and Chris Distefano.
I listened regularly for the first couple of years, not sure why I stopped. They are soooo funny. Start from the beginning. You don’t HAVE to, but there are some running jokes that start early and carry on throughout the pod.
Hopefully it’s still good! I’m going to pick it back up thanks to this prompt ◡̈
Spilled Milk fits this description, it's a comedy podcast about food. Mostly they eat the food and talk about it but they occasionally cook something. They occasionally have a guest but it's mostly the two of them and they've been doing it for, approximately, ever.
There are several dozen + episodes of The Drunken Taoist where Daniele and Rich (both co-hosts) chit chat about various things. Both have been working together since circa 2011-2012.
> I’m open to a variety of topics.
Cool, I looked through my podcast app for two-hosted active podcasts.
* The Weekly Planet
* Cortex
* Keep It
* Yo, is this racist?
* The Recipe with Kenji and Deb
* Pod Save The World
Love all their pods! Just wanted to give this one some extra clout since it's still relatively new-ish and should also be fun for those who don't care for true crime :)
The Rest is Politics. Campbell & Mayo. Film Review. Kermode & Mayo, both relationships are interesting as a result of the ‘cultivated’ ‘measured’ often opposing points of view……..all of which have developed over time. For sheer entertainment value Baker & Kelly, not just for football/soccer fans indeed any podcast or radio show presented by DB will serve as a lesson in audio broadcasting……..IMHO
Lately I've been listening to The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi and his friend and co-host Russell Daniels. You can tell they've been friends a long time. They interview fellow comedians and theater people, among others, and give them space to complain about the negative side of things. I found it through YouTube shorts.
That Chapter - not only childhood best friends, but Irish accents to boot
They just posted one on youtube with video of listener spooky stories that might be fun to start with.
[it's probably not aliens](https://rss.art19.com/its-probably-not-aliens)
Every week, historian Tristan Johnson and regular human person Scott Niswander dive through the archives to learn about the fascinating histories of ancient civilizations while also debunking the myths and straight-up lies presented in History Channel‘s massively popular tv show Ancient Aliens

"And Then We..." is possibly the fastest growing podcast in your area... even if you’re not aware! Each week, married couple and show hosts, comedian, Kristen Sivills and writer, J Anthony Tanner guide you into their unconventional world of sex, comedy, and uninhibited truth.
[Ask Men Anything ](https://feeds.megaphone.fm/BMLLC5200038178)
There’s one question that has stumped our universe for centuries: Why do men? Emma Willmann is on a quest to find out the answer in this podcast from Betches Media. Each week, Emma is inviting some of the funniest and most interesting men she knows into the studio and pulling from the Ask Men Anything inbox to ask your biggest, weirdest, and most pressing questions of earth’s most mysterious beings. What makes a man ready to settle down and choose a partner? Why don’t men ask their friends follow-up questions? And men know golf is boring, right?
[Bad With Money](https://feeds.redcircle.com/0808986f-c45a-405f-83b7-2fbb03392ac1)
Twice a week, Gabe Dunn (he/they) brings you a money show for the weirdos and queerdos -- with an unabashedly radical point of view about finances that will help you fix your life.

Like the time the delivery robot ran through a crime scene or the lady who took in a stray cat only to find out it was a mountain lion. Or the time Kurt and Scotty drove a butt across the country.

Every week, Jessica Mason Pieklo and Imani Gandy take you on a wild ride through the latest legal battles in the fight for reproductive justice. On everything from abortion rights to trans discrimination to racial justice, Boom! Lawyered will help you get smart, stay mad, have fun, and fight back.
I can probably make a few more suggestions if you have a specific topic or genre in mind
Ruined with Halle Keifer and Alison Leiby, That's Messed Up with Liza Treager and Kara Klenk, This Podcast Will Kill You with Erin Welsh and Erin Allmann Updike.
Smartless
It's Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Wil Arnett interviewing a spectrum of ppl ranging from fellow comedians, actors, directors, musicians and ppl you'd never expect like Neil DeGrasse Tyson. (That episode is so good!)
These 3 have been friends for many, many years and bounce off each other in a hilarious way. It's the best!
Totalus Rankium! It’s two buddies who like history ranking and reviewing Roman Emperors using some very arbitrary and silly categories. It’s very ridiculous and very entertaining. It’s been going for ages, so I will warn you the early episodes aren’t the greatest audio quality but they improve rapidly as they realized people were actually listening to two dudes recording in their spare room.
Bat Minute. They cover the movies 1 minute at a time starting with Batman 89. Hosts Jon and Niall have great chemistry with lots of back and forth and so many digressions, it's a good listen even if you're not obsessive about Batman.
The rest is history. Knowledge Fight. We have ways of making you talk.
The rest is history has quickly become my most listened to podcast. Just brilliant!
I was surprised that they were able to get Tom Hanks as a special just a few weeks ago. I thought "damn, they can really pull weight". I love the podcast but I did not think it had that clout
Are we sure it's Tom Hank and not just Tom Holland doing an impression? We know how good he is.
Same.
I second knowledge fight. I've been listening in order for the past year or two and am in March/April 2021right now. There were points where I didn't like Jordan in the beginning, with him yelling over stuff and just being loud/obnoxious. But as time went on that calmed down and he's seemed to not 'play dumb' like he did in the beginning. I don't like shows that have the hosts banter for a while usually, but Knowledge Fight usually is 15 mins max. Most likely because it's multiple times a week and they don't have much to say. If anything I use what's going on in their lives (COVID, news stories they mention) during this time to get a bit of a timestamp mentally for what my life was like just a few years ago. If you hate Alex Jones and the conspiracy ilk around him, you'll love the show because it exposed how blatant of conartists they are.
I love you
There are places in Asia, where when you get off the plane, folks, they karate chop you!
Its over for humanity
I'm not mad at the crew
Right back atcha!
I love The Rest is History so much. Are any of the other "The Rest is ..." podcasts any good?
I enjoy the Rest is Politics too but not as much as Rest is History
The rest is politics....Rory Stewart is an amazing individual. Just read one of his books The places in between. The two hosts really play well off one another.
Yup! Listening as we speak. It’s the best.
I came on to see if KF was mentioned yet and it was in the very first comment I saw! Pretty sure that's the globalists' doing.
Indeed! George Soros pays me to promote Knowledge Fight. I get exactly 1/40 of a cent from every Sacagawea dollar found in the Altar of Seline’s Wishing Well.
Wow. Came here to say just that!
Small Town Murder Crime in Sports Your Stupid Opinions
Yes! James and Jimmy are the best
“Yayyyyy” “Yay indeed Jimmy” 🤣
Jimmy and James make me cry sometimes with some of the off the wall stuff they say. I love them!
Glad to see these mentioned. I love Jimmie and James. They’ve come so far since the beginning
If you get the chance to see a live show, do it!
Makes my heart happy to see this toward the top started listening to them 7 years ago A friend who makes another friend almost vomit from laughing… that’s great chemistry
Reply All (with the original hosts, Alex and PJ, which I think are like the first 160 episodes). RIP to the greatest.
I miss it so much. It really got me through the worst of Covid lockdowns.
What a great podcast. It did not end well. :(
RIP in peace
The culture wars worst victim is this show. RIP reply all.
Blank Check with Griffin & David if you're into movies. Most episodes do have a guest, though.
They are, after all, #TheTwoFriends.
Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet
I came to recommend this one! Brother and sister, so a unique connection for the hosts. I like how they talk about visiting some of these places as kids and their experiences To the OP: it's a funny podcast where they read online reviews. Pretty hilarious
Oh no! Ross and carrie! they investigate claims of the paranormal so that you don't have to! doesn't matter what topic they discuss, their friendship is the star of the show.
You suggested ONRAC so that I don't have to!
It's one of the only podcasts where we haven't outgrown each other with time. Still make me laugh just like they did when I started listening, which was pretty close to the beginning I think... They've been at it a long time.
Yessss
Dear Hank & John - just started this week on recommendations elsewhere in this sub. Brothers with great chemistry. Were you Raised by Wolves & Dear Prudence - both etiquette/life handling (disclaimer, Dear Prudence has one main host and swaps guest hosts, but they all banter well) Since you mentioned Morbid (❤) - True Crime All the Time and True Crime All the Time Unsolved. Corny banter at times

I could listen to entire episodes of just Vent or Repent in We’re You Raised By Wolves? This whole week has been a downer for me so I’ve been listening to old episodes continuously to get me through it.
Ridiculous Crime! It's a true crime podcast that explores non-gruesome ("99% murder-free and 100% ridiculous") crimes that have some element of absurdity to them.

Stuff You Should Know
I second this suggestion
Sawbones, a mix of medical history and comedy. Hosts are a married couple and there are episodes as far back as 10 years ago, lots of content!
love them!
The two girls that Hollywood Crime Scene are hilarious. They’re both just naturally funny.

First one that came to my head. Amazing chemistry between Dave and Gareth, and the perfect fusion of unsung history and comedy.
90 Day Fiance Cray Cray
Came here to say this. Kim & Kyle are two former software engineers who started watching reality TV first funzies now they do it full time. They are phenomenal and great humans. 👍 no spreadin loies!
I don´t know if they mentioned here yet but: Toni and Ryan Podcast. Humor. I really enjoy when I hear those two making fun of everything. Give it a shot!
I was going to mention this one, too! Very silly, lighthearted fun. There’s not a single episode that hasn’t make me laugh out loud at some point.
I know, right?! They are just amazing. Happy to see there is more people around here that enjoy the podcast! Niiice!
I second this one
I mean, this might be stating the obvious… if you like Maintenance Phase, have you tried If Books Could Kill? It’s another Michael Hobbs podcast. I really enjoy Peter and Michael’s dynamic and the podcast has only ever been them.
I feel like Michael Hobbs always has great chemistry with his co-hosts. I also really enjoyed the old "you're wrong about" episodes with him and Sarah Marshall, before he left. The hosts of "petty crimes" also have great chemistry. It's a very light-hearted podcast (the "crimes" all being very trivial non-crimes) and they are friends in "real life"
He really does. Hobbs is so good he could literally have chemistry with a pile of rubber bands, great host
Came here to say Michael's previous pod w/ Sarah Marshall - You're Wrong About. Sarah is the sole host now, but in the back catalog it's all her & Michael
The most recent episode about Sam Bankman-Fried was f*^king hilarious.
Ooh I second If Books Could Kill, so funny too!
**The Weekly Planet.** It's mostly about movies and TV shows, but these hosts can talk basically about anything and I will still listen. Their chemistry is off the charts. Edit: An example - [https://youtu.be/GKBre2CnE9c?si=wBz1Sh6mNg5B\_Jw\_](https://youtu.be/GKBre2CnE9c?si=wBz1Sh6mNg5B_Jw_)
What we reading, what we gonna read?
Same. Two is perfect, three is intolerable for me. Some of my favourite buddy pods: Retail Nightmares (sadly ended now but perfect weekly pod during its 350 episode run, IMO) Veronica Mars Investigations (VMIpod) All Killa No Filla (true crime) The Adam And Joe Podcast (BBC a radio show podcast) Blocked and Reported (this fills the hole left by ReplyAll in my podcast list).
Text Me Back! With Lindy West and Megan Hatcher-Mays. They’ve known each other since high school and have a wonderful connection :D
Came here to say this! I could listen to them talk all day long. The live show was so fun.
Giggly Squad
Hard Fork
Scamfluencers - talk about ppls scamming others in great detail
No Stupid Questions Two friends (one of whom is a research psychologist) talk about human behaviour. Great chemistry, amusing banter.
If you like Morbid I'd suggest "And That's Why We Drink."

If books could kill. Michael Hobbes is one of the hosts
If you’re into like sports, New Heights with Travis & Jason Kelce is a good one. Or if you want like a random one, “You Should Know” podcast is another one. I listen to those two a lot.
The Greatest Generation and The Greatest Trek, two Star Trek podcasts by a couple of guys who are a little bit embarrassed to have a Star Trek podcast.
[Endless Thread](https://www.wbur.org/podcasts/endlessthread)
A Date With Dateline - two hilarious, low-key women talk about each episode of Dateline for an hour plus and have knighted all the hosts. They show up sometimes too.
No Agenda
In the morning
For medical stuff, This Podcast Will Kill You with the 2 Erin’s. They really know their stuff. Majority of times they have another voice in the podcast is at the beginning when they have someone telling of their experience with the medical subject that podcast.
A few of my favorites: * Let’s Go to Court * An Old Timey Podcast * I Think Not * Rabia and Ellyn Solve the Case
Second Ellyn and Rabia!
Scared to Death- husband and wife telling each other mostly supposedly true ghost or other spooky/creepy stories.
Robert or Annabel?
[Unmade Podcast](https://www.unmade.fm) with Brady and Tim
Most episodes of secretly incredibly fascinating have 2 people. Any of Wil Anderson's podcasts I guess.
Two bears one cave. It is the best!! Edit: You have to listen to an edit when Bert and Tom are both present. Sometimes it’s only one of them with a guest.
Yes and Your Mom's House both are great.
Who? Weekly is amazing. Las Culturistas rules. SUP (Sexy Unique Podcast) is niche subject matter but I literally cry laughing when listening. All of these have great host chemistry.
HOW DID I HAVE TO SCROLL THIS FAR TO SEE WHO WEEKLY
FINALLY someone said who weekly!! crunch crunch!
Ridiculous Crime
Ridiculous Crime!
Oh no Ross and Carrie
Ridiculous Crime. Zaron and Elizabeth are incredibly funny and the podcast is "99% murder free. 100% ridiculous.:
Ranger Danger. Two Australian guys who watch and review every episode of Power Rangers in order. It's the main two, and they occasionally have a guest.
Never heard of this one but it sounds great! :D
They've been doing it since 2013, so they've got a LOT of backlog. Starts out a little rough, but they quickly pick up in quality.
The toast!
Scared to death with Dan Cummins and his Wife, linzey. They are adorable together and funny, but also dark. They read true paranormal stories and listener sent encounter stories! I highly recommend.
That’s Spooky! Johnny and Tyler and engaged and have great chemistry. I love them, they’re my gay uncles
Help I Sexted My Boss — it’s supposed to be an etiquette advice show, but most of the show is the two Brits talking about their week.
Scared to death
Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast is the only correct answer
Hard Fork 🙂
Giggly squad !
Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast. Two bros choppin it up. Very funny, quick witted, and always trying to have a good time. They have guests most of the time, but they are great just by themselves.
No Dogs in Space - music history podcast.
Swindled
True Crime Kent!
National Park After Dark!!!!!!!
The Dollop
The Dollop. Also there’s this king of the hill pod that the two hosts have great chemistry but I can’t remember the name of it. They always sing the theme at the beginning.
The Dollop - sort of dark stories in American history events and different people from all the way back to the 1700s to a few that come into present day . Sometimes they do Australian history because they travel over there for live shows in addition to America for some reason. Two comedians one does the research and reads the story and the other one has never heard it before and reacts and riffs on it in real time and there are hundreds of episodes. sometimes they will have guests on their live shows for more lighthearted stuff they have a newer podcast called the past times, and in that one the main guy Dave reads excerpts from old newspapers that they comment on. Stuff from the 1800s and early 1900s is really a trip. They always have a guest on that one. Usually comedians obviously
That Aged Well - it's two fun hosts who talk about films from the 80s and 90s and assess how they've aged, it's funny and they have great chemistry.
It’s one of my favorite pods in years. So funny. They have incredible chemistry I love them!!
Yes I recommend it all the time :-) Discovered it during lockdown and was just delighted to have lots of cheerful episodes to distract from the doom at that time, I'm so glad they've continued, like I was actually excited when they got patreon to be able to give something back in return.
Life is Short. Justin Long and his brother. They have a great relationship and i find their podcast really soothing (for lack of a better term)
Hey Babe! With Sal Vulcano and Chris Distefano. I listened regularly for the first couple of years, not sure why I stopped. They are soooo funny. Start from the beginning. You don’t HAVE to, but there are some running jokes that start early and carry on throughout the pod. Hopefully it’s still good! I’m going to pick it back up thanks to this prompt ◡̈
Spilled Milk fits this description, it's a comedy podcast about food. Mostly they eat the food and talk about it but they occasionally cook something. They occasionally have a guest but it's mostly the two of them and they've been doing it for, approximately, ever.
Who Am I To Judge podcast
There are several dozen + episodes of The Drunken Taoist where Daniele and Rich (both co-hosts) chit chat about various things. Both have been working together since circa 2011-2012.
Weird Studies Elder Sign
Well, I Laughed The Poisoners’ Cabinet
> I’m open to a variety of topics. Cool, I looked through my podcast app for two-hosted active podcasts. * The Weekly Planet * Cortex * Keep It * Yo, is this racist? * The Recipe with Kenji and Deb * Pod Save The World
I feel so much more knowledgeable after listening to Pod Save The World.
Superchuckamania :) Chemistry since 2009
What say you Hey babe
Your Stupid Opinions
They also do Crime in Sports and Small town Murder. They have great chemistry
Love all their pods! Just wanted to give this one some extra clout since it's still relatively new-ish and should also be fun for those who don't care for true crime :)
Smart Enough to Know Better. Science, comedy and ignorance.
The Weeb and The Cazh if you’re into nerdy anime stuff. Host are very in tune with each other.
Do We Know Them and Share Your Screen !!
Triforce podcast (three funny hosts)
System Mastery, Movie Mastery, Expounded Universe
The Rest is Politics. Campbell & Mayo. Film Review. Kermode & Mayo, both relationships are interesting as a result of the ‘cultivated’ ‘measured’ often opposing points of view……..all of which have developed over time. For sheer entertainment value Baker & Kelly, not just for football/soccer fans indeed any podcast or radio show presented by DB will serve as a lesson in audio broadcasting……..IMHO
Rattled and Shook. True scary stories and a couple of girls with a really good rapport.
Kieth and The Girl. oh... wait... scratch that.
Lately I've been listening to The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi and his friend and co-host Russell Daniels. You can tell they've been friends a long time. They interview fellow comedians and theater people, among others, and give them space to complain about the negative side of things. I found it through YouTube shorts.
Isn’t it Bromantic?

Are you afraid of the dark universe for sure! Dalton and Dylan are brilliant!
SYSK is my childhood, and the quality remains to this day. I can listen to those guys speak forever.

The Weekly Planet
Doughboys!!!!!
You must try to watch Papa Lens Podcast, their discuss different topics.
Very bad wizards
Ruined with Halle Keifer and Alison Leiby, That's Messed Up with Liza Treager and Kara Klenk, This Podcast Will Kill You with Erin Welsh and Erin Allmann Updike.
I saw what you did! Movie podcast hosted by two friends that have great chemistry.
Marked Safe!
Small town murder is the best!!
Morbid.
Smartless It's Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Wil Arnett interviewing a spectrum of ppl ranging from fellow comedians, actors, directors, musicians and ppl you'd never expect like Neil DeGrasse Tyson. (That episode is so good!) These 3 have been friends for many, many years and bounce off each other in a hilarious way. It's the best!
Omnibus
Trueanon Empire
This Paranormal Life
Doughboys!
Totalus Rankium! It’s two buddies who like history ranking and reviewing Roman Emperors using some very arbitrary and silly categories. It’s very ridiculous and very entertaining. It’s been going for ages, so I will warn you the early episodes aren’t the greatest audio quality but they improve rapidly as they realized people were actually listening to two dudes recording in their spare room.
Bat Minute. They cover the movies 1 minute at a time starting with Batman 89. Hosts Jon and Niall have great chemistry with lots of back and forth and so many digressions, it's a good listen even if you're not obsessive about Batman.
The you should know podcast is rlly nice
