9. Next Door Villain
Follow Play
Website Apple Spotify
A fictional villain podcast! Listen in any order. Hosts Joe and Tiana attempt to empathize with the most notorious fictional villains like Cruella de Vil, Draco Malfoy, Norman Bates, Harley Quinn, and more. With discussion, some literary art, and a bit of humor, they attempt to find the humanity behind these characters. Because if we can learn to connect with, relate to, and understand characters that were designed to be hated, then we might just have a chance at understanding our villainous selves as well as the villains we face in our everyday lives.MORE Hosts Joe, Tiana

Follow Play
Website Apple Spotify
Taking the news from the last week and examining it through the lens of film.The news often ties us down to details. We get headlines and tweets, but lack historical and cultural context to make much sense out of any of it. One of the things movies do well is turn this noise into narrative.Plus, it's a great way to talk about the news while leaving out the actual, literal villains in our real lives.MORE Producer/Network Jesse and Forest

Three friends read and react to the greatest story you've never heard - the Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien. This is a book everyone should read, but it can be intimidating.

We are not experts, we're just fans like you. And we're having a blast going through this masterpiece of fiction, 15 minutes at a time. Grab a cup of tea or your favorite scotch (or your steering wheel!) and join us each week!MORE Producer/Network Camwë Danrod Gregolas

15. Scoundrel
Follow Play
Website Apple
History consists of heroes and villains (and, I suppose everything in between)... but it's usually the villains who are the most interesting: Their flaws, their quirks, the voids in their hearts that force them to do the unthinkable. These are the characters that fascinate us, that pull us in, that compel us to watch and don't let us look away. And these are the characters that Scoundrel: History's Forgotten Villains is all about.MORE Producer/Network KAST MEDIA | Jason and Carissa Weiser
