The April Fools Podcast
ADVERTISEMENT
As the name suggests, this podcast is specially created for the day when pranksters are known to rule the roost (read: roast). Two American hosts, instead of pranking a third party, try challenges and pranks on each other. They slide into DMs, discuss the SuperBowl and experiment with odd food combinations. Episode six took this writer down a spicy memory lane. It is set in the pandemic, when many around the world were either taking up the Dalgona coffee challenge or proving their spice tolerance by fearlessly biting on one of the spiciest chips, Jolochip, only to end up emptying water bottles, chocolate jars and boxes of tissue papers. The podcasters try an American version of the same chip, and go bouncing around the room, with unstoppable tears rolling down their cheek. Tune in to this podcast if you enjoy watching innocuous but hilarious pranks or prefer to be warned before taking up trending challenges.

The Snow Plow Show
Consider this podcast your 2024 manual for pulling trendy pranks on your friends. The hosts step out daily and try out the popular pranks to decode whether they are doable, harmful, or simply staged. The best ones are where they pull phone tap mix-ups in the beginning of each episode and two different conversations from strangers merge into a single comical interaction. Our favourite episode is titled Go Back To Your Crack Pipe, where although a prank, the hosts bring up some very relevant issues like hazardous waste, proper toilet alignment, Christmas tree disposal issues with nosy landlords.
