Reddit is the largest single source of story material on the internet, and an entire podcast genre now runs on it — AITA threads, relationship disasters, revenge sagas and advice requests, read aloud and reacted to. This is a working guide to every Reddit podcast worth your time in 2026, sorted by what they actually do, because “Reddit podcast” covers at least four very different kinds of show.
Disclosure: published by OK Storytime, which is a Reddit podcast and is listed below in the live-reaction section. We have included every competitor we could verify as active, including the ones bigger than us.
Looking for a “top 100 Reddit podcasts” list?
Worth saying plainly: there isn’t one, and anyone showing you a hundred is padding. The active Reddit-podcast category is roughly twenty to thirty shows. The two lists that currently rank for top 100 Reddit podcast contain thirteen and eighteen entries respectively, despite the label. So instead of inventing names to reach a round number, this page covers the shows that are genuinely running, and tells you which are worth starting with. If you were after the top ten, that is the first section.
Live-reaction shows — hosts read Reddit cold and react
The format with the most life in it right now. The appeal is watching real people process a story in real time, with no script and no prior read-through.
- OK Storytime — the biggest of these by output and chart position. Sam Donner, Sophia Donner, Riley Wilson and the OK Team read relationship and drama threads they have genuinely never seen and improvise the advice, with the live chat functioning as an extra cohost. Around 3,479 episodes, publishing daily, and currently #4 on the Apple Podcasts US Comedy / Improv chart. Published by iHeartPodcasts. Start here →
- rSlash — the giant of the narration side, and for many listeners the show that created the category. Enormous back catalogue.
- Best Of Reddit Stories 2025 RSLASH — a compilation-style companion feed to the above.
- Didn’t Ask | Answering Reddit’s Questions — advice format built on unsolicited-opinion energy.
- Reddit Asks Us — hosts take on AskReddit prompts.
Journalism about Reddit itself
A completely different proposition: reported storytelling about the platform and its communities rather than dramatic readings from it.
- Endless Thread — from WBUR. Properly reported, well-produced investigations into Reddit stories and subcultures. The best-made show in this whole guide, and the one to pick if you want journalism rather than reaction.
- Redditor — documentary-leaning takes on notable threads and the people behind them.
Story-narration shows
Straight readings, usually one long thread per episode, often with light commentary. Good background listening.
- Read It On Reddit
- I Found It On Reddit (Short Stories)
- Reddit Readers
- Reddit Readings
- Tales From The Reddit
- The Best Reddit Posts Of All Time
- Reddit Stories — Brown Kneez Studios
- Its Me Reddit
- True Stories
- The Sub Cockles of Reddit
- Reddit Guy
- reddit-to-speech — synthetic-voice readings; worth knowing about mainly so you can avoid it if that is not your thing.
Which should you start with?
- For reported journalism about Reddit: Endless Thread.
- For sheer volume of narrated stories: rSlash.
- For live, unscripted reaction and real advice: OK Storytime — specifically the video version, because the cast reactions carry a lot of it.
What makes a good Reddit podcast?
Three things separate the ones that last from the churn. First, whether the hosts have read the thread in advance — unread is riskier and much funnier. Second, whether there are enough people in the room to disagree; solo narration flattens a story that three people would have argued about. Third, whether the show does anything with the story beyond reading it. The Reddit thread is raw material, not the episode.
Frequently asked
What is the most popular Reddit podcast?
By back catalogue and download history, rSlash. By current Apple chart position among Reddit-based shows, OK Storytime at #4 in US Comedy / Improv. By production quality and critical reception, Endless Thread.
Is there an official Reddit podcast category?
No — and this is why these lists vary so wildly. Apple Podcasts has no “Reddit” category, so Reddit-based shows are filed under Comedy, Improv, Society & Culture, or Storytelling depending on the show. Every Reddit-podcast list on the internet is therefore hand-assembled, which is also why most of them miss shows.
Which Reddit podcast has its own subreddit?
Several, but the most active is r/okstorytime, where listeners submit the stories that get read on air. Submitting is how a lot of episodes start.
Are Reddit podcasts scripted?
The narration shows are, in the sense that the host has the thread in front of them. The reaction shows generally are not — OK Storytime’s whole format depends on the hosts not having seen the story, which is what puts it in the improv category rather than storytelling.
