12 Podcasts from Europe to Help You Get Through Quarantine

Whether you’re living in Europe or just want to know what’s going on, these podcasts are full of amazing stories, cutting edge science, and to-the-minute information on everything COVID-19.

Audio journalism started booming long before the Coronavirus locked everyone, including podcasters, in their houses. And it seems like a complex and rapidly changing global crisis, mixed with an abundance of free time, are the ideal ingredients for an explosion of new audio projects. Some of the most innovative, intriguing, tug-at-your-heartstrings podcasts have been released since the start of the pandemic, from novices and seasoned professionals alike.

With such an abundance of quality journalism, it’s hard to know where to start. Searching for the most popular podcasts in Stitcher or Spotify mostly leads to podcasts from and about the U.S., which are undoubtedly great, but don’t reflect your day-to-day reality if you live in Europe. To help broaden your podcast horizons, Euphemist has compiled a list of podcast episodes for anyone who wants to learn about how COVID-19 is impacting European politics, economics, and life.
