Is the apocalypse already here? Is The Sims a capitalist fantasy or a commentary on consumerism? Can a house bleed real human blood? Is Zendaya the coolest person in Hollywood? Does New Year’s Day feel like yesterday? Or three years ago? (Or both, somehow?) In any case, the year is young, and we haven’t yet had the chance to catch you up on what’s new in podcasting (we’ve been busy hanging with friends of the pod. We’re lonely, sue us.) Without further ado, it’s time to turn over a new leaf and bring you the best new releases of 2021 so far. Whether you’re craving true crime, pop culture, in depth interviews or a little bit of something strange, we hope you find something to get you through the winter blues. And if we missed your favourite new release, get in touch and let us know!
