The Best Podcasts Of 2025
HuffPost
Shows that made us laugh, think and briefly forget the darkness this year.
December prompts us to look back at the media that kept us entertained all year long. In the podcast realm, HuffPost staffers found joy in new and old shows alike, seeking out compelling audio that took us back in time to a favorite show, gave us an inside look at our favorite celebrities’ lives or simply helped us feel more connected to our fellow humans.
Here are a few podcasts we loved in 2025:
‘ReLiving Single’
Rewatch podcasts are nothing new, but ”ReLiving Single″ has created something truly special for fans of the classic ’90s sitcom, like me, since its launch this past spring. Hosted by “Living Single” stars Erika Alexander and Kim Coles, the podcast thrives on the real-life best friends’ fun banter and behind-the-scenes stories of their staple series, as they take a trip down memory lane each episode — sometimes with special guests, like their former co-stars (including Kim Fields, T.C. Carson and John Henton) and, most recently, with show creator Yvette Lee Bowser. One of the latest (and most viral) episodes of the podcast featured a heartwarming reunion between Coles, Alexander and their former castmate Queen Latifah, who talked about her contributions to the “Living Single” legacy (including the iconic theme song that she wrote and performed!). It’s safe to say this podcast has become my favorite weekly escape. As the title suggests, every episode feels like I’m literally reliving the show all over again, just with more insight into these characters’ worlds back in the day. The hit show-to-rewatch podcast pipeline has become all too common these days, but “ReLiving Single” is a great example of nostalgia that actually serves a purpose. Because if we never get a proper “Living Single” reunion special with the whole cast, then this deep-dive show feels like the next best thing. — Njera
