December's Special: Spotlighting Featured Podcasts

Static Radio

The Static Radio podcast is a light-hearted comedy show that centers around the peculiar and often hilarious experiences of two individuals living in the US Midwest. Every week, they share their personal anecdotes in an engaging stream-of-consciousness style and try to weave it into the funniest or weirdest narrative possible. As one person narrates, the other humorously dissects the tale - always ensuring that laughter is at the heart of every episode.

🎙The Host

The hosts of the Static Radio, a long-running internet comedy show, are two college friends who have been sharing their unique blend of humor with listeners for over 25 years. Despite facing personal and national tragedies, these dedicated entertainers record weekly episodes that often delve into the eccentricities of everyday life. Their approach to comedy is candid and sometimes edgy as they freely share their quirks and shortcomings in an attempt to amuse each other—and hopefully their audience too. They have remained committed to spreading laughter despite significant changes in technology throughout the years.
