Chris Rock, Julia Child, and MLB’s Alex Cora: 5 podcasts we’re serious about this April Fools’ weekend

In all seriousness, happy April Fools’ Day to those who celebrate. We’re tuning into 5 podcasts this weekend, ranging from comedy interviews to a must-hear true crime show. One rip-roarious series is hosted by SNL alumni and they chat with fellow comics. They recently shared thoughts on the Chris Rock/Will Smith altercation before interviewing Ben Stiller. There is a new comedy podcast spilling juicy gossip that started as a tweet from lockdown.

If you’re watching HBO Max’s show inspired by the OG celeb chef, Julia Child, stream the companion podcast. If cooking isn’t your kind of spectator sport, check out a new podcast about the Red Sox instead. For all true crime fans out there, we’ve included a podcast covering murders, possessions, hauntings, mysteries, and more.

Cadence13 presents “Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey & David Spade,” an interview series strolling down memory lane with fellow comics.
