Our 5 Fave Malaysian Podcasts

It’s been the decade of the podcasts and these cool new-gen radio talk shows have been on everyone’s to-listen list. We all have our favourite ones, mostly those produced in other countries but did you know that right here in Malaysia, there are some really popular ones too? From relationships to entertainment to just good old banter between friends, here are the ones we are constantly tuning into.

#1 Mamak Sessions
Everyone know you talk whatever under the sun when you are out having a mamak session with your friends. And that’s precisely what this podcast is all about – that mamak session live on your phone. Created by Jinny Boy (who’s always been popular with his content), Mamak Session weighs in on some interesting and fun topics Malaysians can related to – health, food, finance – basically anything you would with your friends.

#2 The Fashion Weak
With a tongue-in-cheek title, you know you’re getting great content from The Fashion Weak!
