ShxtsNGigs

James and Fuhad are best friends from London who started recording their conversations in 2019 and accidentally built one of the UK's biggest podcasts. ShxtsNGigs is exactly what the name suggests: two guys talking nonsense, sharing stories, and giving their unfiltered takes on life, dating, social media, and whatever random topic pops up that week. The chemistry between them is the kind you can only get from years of genuine friendship. Episodes drop weekly and run about an hour to ninety minutes. The format stays loose on purpose. James tends to be the more measured one, while Fuhad brings chaotic energy that regularly sends conversations sideways. They read listener submissions, debate hypothetical scenarios, and react to viral content. A typical episode might jump from a serious discussion about relationships to an absolutely ridiculous argument about whether cereal is soup. That tonal range is their superpower. The numbers back up the hype. Over 260 episodes, a 4.8-star rating from more than 6,000 reviewers, and a YouTube channel that pulls massive views on top of the audio downloads. They've also done successful live tours across the UK, selling out venues and proving that their on-mic dynamic translates perfectly to a stage. ShxtsNGigs represents something specific in the podcast world: young Black British humor that doesn't try to be anything it's not. James and Fuhad talk the way they'd talk if nobody was listening, and that honest approach has resonated with a huge audience. If you appreciate sharp banter and genuine friendship on display, this one's hard to beat.
