Podcasts first landed on iTunes in 2005. To celebrate 20 years of podcasts, Apple has launched a new page titled "Apple Podcasts 20 Years, 20 Podcasts We Love" promoting its favorite podcasts throughout the years.

"This list is a love letter to the podcasts that left a lasting impact on us and the ones we continue to recommend again and again," the page reads.

"They are shows with hosts that feel like friends, and shows that make us press play immediately on the latest episode to hear what happens next. These shows have measurably improved our lives and helped define this medium we know and love."

Here's a list of all the podcasts Apple thinks you should check out:

2005 - 2010

2011 - 2015

2016 - 2020
