In case you didn’t know, there is so much media out there. We live in a world where we are constantly connected to music, TV, film and news. Everything is at our fingertips. It can be overwhelming, but it can also be great. That is true for the case of our favorite TV shows. Podcasts have made a surge in recent years, (which could be thanks to Serial.) The podcasting world has diversified to bring us a large amount of listening that can be enjoyed everywhere.

The medium crosses into TV, too. There are a variety of TV podcasts out there, some which aim to bring you closer to their worlds. If you’re a fan of Chernobyl, The Good Place, Insecure, The Handmaid’s Tale, Outlander or Big Little Lies, check out these podcasts based on those shows:

CHERNOBYL OFFICIAL

HBO developed the hit show Chernobyl, which, tbh, is a lot scarier than most horror films. The show’s official podcast takes a look behind the scenes of the show based on a true story. Host Peter Sagal from NPR sits down with series creator Craig Mazin ever week to discuss the episodes. Each podcast episode is about clocks in between 45 minutes and an hour, making any commute to work easy. Mazin often discusses the liberties taken with the real life material and the thought process behind every scene. With Chernobyl being the can’t-miss series of the summer, you’re going to want to take the time to listen to the podcast.

THE GOOD PLACE OFFICIAL

If you’re looking for a motherforking good time, look no further than The Good Place’s official pod. It’s hosted by none other than Marc Evan Jackson, who plays Shawn on the hit sitcom. A slew of special guests come through: writers, directors and actors. It’s a laugh-out-loud, podcast that will have people you pass on the streets wondering what you’re listening to.

INSECURITEA

Seasoned podcast hosts Fran and Crissle are hear for your breakdown of every Insecure episode. Season four is expected out this year, so if you’re watching for the first time, watch an episode then listen to the episode. Or if you’ve already seen it, use the podcast as a way to refresh your knowledge of what Issa has been up to.

RED ALL OVER

The Handmaid’s Tale season three is here, and Red All Over has all of your listening needs. Hosts Kelly Anneken and Molly Sanchez do a deep dive into everything the Hulu series offers, but they don’t stop there. They also take a look at the Margaret Atwood novels that sparked the discussions we’re having about women, including Netflix adapted Alias Grace. The podcast has a lot to offer, and it will have you saying “Praise be.”

OUTLANDER OFFICIAL

Outlander is one of the sexiest shows on TV, and everyone wants to know how it got to be that way. Well, the Outlander official podcast turns viewers into listeners and gives them a glimpse into the Scottish, time-traveling world. Every week brings new guests who are close to the show, which is the best kind of an inside look.

BIG LITTLE LIVE

Live shows are starting to be as big as podcasts, and The Ringer has one for your viewing pleasure every week on its website and Twitter. The Ringer’s Amanda Dobbins and ESPN’s Mina Kimes sit down every week to discuss the latest happenings on HBO’s hit. Their most-recent discussions have centered around Meryl Streep’s borderline scary performance and the real estate of Monterey Bay. So there is a variety of topics, to say the least.
