March Madness, Marvel, and more: 5 podcasts to stream this weekend

Congratulations on making it to yet another weekend! We’ve got podcasts to inspire your next movie binge, podcasts that will keep you on top of every single March Madness game, and podcasts to inspire your next big move.

Whether you’re in the mood for some Twilight or you’re leaning towards Iron Man, we’ve got you covered. Or maybe you’re looking for a little bit of inspiration to quit something that’s no longer bringing you joy, and we’ve got that too! Check out the podcasts we’ve picked for your weekend listening pleasure:

Newcomers: Marvel, with Nicole Byer and Lauren Lapkus

You all know we are the ultimate Nicole Byer fans here at Podsauce. In her podcast “Newcomers,” she and her co-hosts have been diving into cultural film/television staples that they somehow missed. Now she and Lauren Lapkus are embarking on an (abridged) journey into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Catch up on their Iron Man and Iron Man 2 rewatches this weekend. In other seasons, they’ve dove into other series like Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Tyler Perry’s body of works, and The Fast & Furious.

Imposters

Alex Lieberman hosts his new podcast “Imposters” all about imposter syndrome. In interviews with athletes, entrepreneurs, and more, we hear how these super successful people overcame mental and personal challenges to get where they are today. Hear how Olympic speed skater Apollo Ohno dealt with overwhelming success at a young age to Carson Daly’s anxiety diagnosis to Kayak’s co-founder Paul English bipolar disorder and running a billion-dollar business.

Ultimate College Basketball Tournament Preview 2022

The NCAA’s men’s and women’s March Madness tournament started this week and Locked On and Audacy’s “Ultimate College Basketball Tournament Preview 2022” has us covered for all 67 (men’s) games. Get to know each team, and preview every game as we keep our eye out for huge upsets, big wins, and most surprising storylines. And check out some of these podcasts to keep tabs on the women’s (newly minted) March Madness tournament as well.

Quitters Podcast

Julie Bowen and Chad Sanders host “Quitters Podcast,” a podcast all about what people have left behind in order to move forward. A new podcast as of January, so far they’ve sat down with Julie’s Modern Family co-stars Sarah Hyland and Ty Burrell as well as Jimmy Kimmel, Mayim Bialik, and Meghan and Ryan Trainor to talk about all the things they’ve quit.

The Twilight Effect

We know what we’re doing this weekend. “The Twilight Effect” is the newest rewatch podcast on the block, hosted by none other than Alice Cullen herself, Ashley Greene-Khoury. Along with her longtime friend Melanie Howe, the two are rewatching all five of the Twilight movies, providing commentary, behind-the-scenes details, and they’ll even be joined by some of Ashley’s costars in future episodes!
