Why episodes, not shows

Every other list answers this question with podcasts to subscribe to — a back catalogue you now have to search yourself. Skepmatches on what each episode actually covers, so the single best hour for this can come from a show you'd never follow, sitting next to one you already know.

Want a find like these in your inbox every morning? Free, one a day.

One email a day, unsubscribe anytime. No spam, ever.

Not quite it?

Describe your own situation in your own words — what mood you're in, what you're sick of, what you want to feel afterwards — and Skep will match episodes to it.
