It's time to get listening.

There’s just something about a good podcast that really gets us talking. They’re perfect for a road trip and long walk or to simply give your eyes a rest from Netflix.

Here are our picks for the 5 best podcasts that will entertain.

1. The Morning Toast

More popularly an Instagram/Facebook live show, the Morning Toast is hosted by sisters Claudia and Jackie Oshrey. Claudia is the mind behind the hilarious GirlWithNoJob Instagram page and along with her sister, they provide and round up of American celebrity and entertainment stories everyday, accompanied by their brutally honest opinions, often causing quite a stir. After a scandal surrounding their previous podcast The Morning Breath, the girls bounced back with their truly original format and hilarious banter.

2. The High Low

The posh British duo of writers, Dolly Alderton and Pandora Sykes, are back on the podcast scene after finishing up The PanDolly Podcast last year. The ladies mix up their chat, discussing trivial topics such as Cardi B and the political stances on sexual harassment in the workplace. The podcast is short and sweet, with the witty, clever duo getting straight to the point, no rambling allowed.
