There are only so many minutes in the day, and there are a lot more podcasts than there are available minutes. This list of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-short-podcasts-30-minutes/ranker-podcast?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best short podcasts</a> with episodes that average under ten minutes can help you get ahead of news, science, and even mindfulness, in super short episodes.

Although many podcasts might have &quot;five minutes&quot; in their title, they rarely live up to that limit, stretching themselves well over ten minutes and often close to thirty.

The 60-Second podcast series from Scientific American serves an even tighter stopwatch but manages to share information on the brain, health, science, space, and tech in no longer than a minute each. And it&#39;s not just tidbits of information or opinion you can hear in under ten minutes. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-fiction-podcasts/ranker-podcast" target="_blank">Short story podcasts</a> weave quick worlds, with the scripted mystery adventure podcast Six Minutes regularly coming in under the time limit in its title.

Even though once in a while these podcasts have an episode that slips a touch over the ten-minute limit, the majority of their episodes come in comfortably under ten minutes. Which of these short podcasts are the best? If we forgot a great short podcast, be sure to add it to the list!
