All of these podcasts, whether by means of information, entertainment or both, offer a unique blend of personalities and are sure to be hits! Here are 5 podcasts for the student seeking motivation!

1. The Joe Rogan Experience

Joe Rogan is a man who gets a lot of undeserved heat from the public. The truth of the matter is that he is an extremely open-minded individual with much insight to offer to his listeners. And he’s an excellent interviewer!

Episodes of his podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” are released multiple times a week, and every time, Joe is sure to bring on a wise and venerable guest to make the show that much more interesting!

From Navy Seals to authors to explorers, actors, comedians, political activists, experts in various fields including astrophysics and archeology and everything in between, every guest will have something to teach you and a unique way to make you smile.

The sheer diversity of Joe’s family of guests is something to be admired, and no matter who comes on to the show, they will speak, they will be heard, and they will show you an awesome time! In the field of interview podcasts, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” absolutely takes the cake!

2. Wonderful!

Do you need reasons to be happy? Good! Because there are plenty of them! Every Wednesday on the Maximum Fun network of podcasts, you can join Griffin and Rachel McElroy as they reminisce with smiles on their faces about things that make them happy!

This good-natured, love-spreading program is sure to fill you with that warm, cozy feeling of nostalgia, and you’ll learn a thing or two as well!

The happy-go-lucky husband and wife team dig into the history and lore of whichever topics they choose to bring to the show, and it could be anything! You never know exactly what you’re going to get out of an episode of this podcast, but you can at least be sure you’ll get the smiles!

3. Sawbones

Do you like medical science? What about history? Well, why not both? “Sawbones,” is a medical history podcast!

That’s right; you can join hosts Justin and Sydnee McElroy as they dive into the wildest, craziest, grossest and most ridiculous treatments that humans have used on each other to try and fix whatever ailments they came across.

Be warned: this is not like those fuzzy, warm and light-hearted podcasts. Sure, your hosts will do their best to provide you with a humorous take on our species’ medical history, but you must be prepared for the grim nature of our past!

This journey is not for the feint of heart, but should you choose to accept it, you’ll learn and you’ll laugh.

4. My Brother, My Brother And Me

Do you need to laugh? Sometimes, that’s all we need. In fact, they say that laughter is the best medicine.

If you appreciate improv comedy, then you’ll love “My Brother, My Brother and Me.” Join three intelligent goofball brothers as they take questions from their listeners and proceed to explode into a series of hilarious tangents.

The trio is always coming up with new and unique segments to add to the show, and there will never be a single dull moment! With a back catalog going back for a decade, there is plenty of material for you to explore!

Trust us, you’ll laugh like you’ve never left before. And we’d be willing to wager that you’ll expand your vocabulary, too.

5. The Adventure Zone

Did you like the guys from “My Brother, My Brother and Me?” Well, good! They are lovable, aren’t they? Would you like to meet their daddy? And perhaps join all four of them as they spin wild and beautiful tales in a series of improvisational collaborative storytelling using tabletop role-playing games as a base?

If that sounds awesome to you, you’re probably pretty cool! And you’re also correct! The stories these boys can weave together are truly fascinating and glorious tales. One of which has even been made into a graphic novel series, the first book of which is a New York Times bestseller! So you know it’s great!

Don’t be afraid, though. It’s not all dark and serious for the sake of the narratives. These boys don’t know how to keep their jokes to themselves, and that is a wonderful gift! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll live and die a thousand lives in… “The Adventure Zone!”

We certainly hope you give each of these incredible podcasts a listen! They each have something unique and amazing to offer to their audiences. Did you give them all a chance? Which one was your favorite? Let us know below in the comments, and spread the word for pity’s sake!
