As we come to the close of another year, it’s time to look back, reflect, and re-evaluate the past 12 months. We ask ourselves: what were the greatest achievements? What would we do differently next year? And, of course, what were the best five new comedy podcasts you discovered this year?
And here they are :
Button Boys
The Button Boys Podcast is a gaming podcast hosted by comedians Glenn Moore, Sarah Keyworth, and Pierre Novellie. They chat about video games, new releases, gaming gripes, and nostalgia. Episodes are released weekly, covering diverse topics from cosy games to horror, soundtracks, and even gaming crushes. Recently, they won the Indie Comedy Podcast World Cup.

Early Worms
Hosted by Phil Ellis and Anna Thomas, this show offers a weekly dose of light-hearted, often absurd chat. The hosts riff on random topics, share personal anecdotes, discuss strange facts, and contemplate their dream futures.

You’re The Best Bro
Emmanuel Sonubi and Darran Griffiths have one simple mission: to prove, once and for all, who’s the better friend. Each week, they explore all the ways they’ve ‘out-friended’ each other—be it birthday wishes, Christmas messages, or over-the-top gestures nobody asked for. Along the way, they dive into history, pop culture, and real-life stories to crown the Good Friend, Bad Friend, and Best Friend of the week.

Class Clown
Hosted by Seann Walsh, Class Clown explores the wild tales of guests’ early lives, focusing on how their “rule-breaking” and “mischievous” childhood behaviours translated into unconventional achievements in the entertainment industry. It blends nostalgia with confessional-style conversations to uncover the person behind the performer. Previous guests include Russell Howard, Romesh Ranganathan and Jill Scott.
