The best AITA podcasts,
rated by a rival.
Full disclosure up front: we make No Notes, an app in exactly this space, so we are the least neutral guide imaginable. We are also obsessive listeners of everything below, and the truth is the truth: these shows are good, each in a different way. Here is who does what best, so you can pick by mood instead of by algorithm.
Commentary and company: Two Hot Takes. Raw volume: rSlash. Personality: Charlotte Dobre. Banter: Am I the Genius. Chaos: Smosh. The complete sagas: BORU. And if you want to VOTE on the verdict instead of just hearing one, that is the thing we built.
Two Hot Takes
Podcast + YouTubeMorgan and a rotating co-host read reddit relationship stories and react like your smartest group chat. Episodes run long and conversational, which is the appeal: it is company, not just content. If you want stories PLUS an hour of commentary from people you would actually brunch with, this is the one.
rSlash
YouTube + podcast feedsThe assembly line of reddit storytelling: daily uploads, tight pacing, a narrator voice that gets out of the way. Less commentary, more story-per-minute than anyone. If you binge on quantity and want a new batch every single day, rSlash delivers relentlessly.
Charlotte Dobre
YouTubeLess a reading, more a performance about the reading: Charlotte reacts to entitled-people and wedding-shaming stories with impeccable comic timing and on-screen text. You come for the stories and stay for her eyebrows. Best when you want the drama filtered through a personality.
Am I the Genius?
YouTube + podcastA duo reads AITA and revenge stories and argues the verdicts between themselves. The chemistry is the product: two people disagreeing about the same story is half the fun of the format, and they lean into it.
Smosh Reads Reddit Stories
YouTubeThe Smosh cast reads reddit stories around a table and derails constantly, on purpose. It is the least efficient way to consume a story and the most fun to have on in the background. Pick this when the vibe matters more than the verdict.
r/BestofRedditorUpdates
Subreddit (reading)Not a podcast, but it belongs on the list: BORU collects the stories WITH their updates, so you get the whole arc instead of a cliffhanger. If your favorite part is "three months later...", this is the source the podcasts mine.
When a podcast is the wrong tool
Every show above shares one limitation, and it is structural: you are the audience. The host reads, the host reacts, the host decides. But the entire reason the AITA format works is the question itself, and a question deserves YOUR answer before you hear everyone else’s.
That is the itch No Notes scratches. Every case is voice-acted like the best narrator shows, but it stops where a podcast cannot: you vote NTA or YTA first, locked in blind, and only then does the jury split reveal. It turns passive listening into a small daily game, with free starter cases and a free story every morning.
