With the recent explosion of podcasts, it seems like there's something out there for everyone, whether you're interested in true crime or want to learn more about science or the world's religions. But sometimes, you just want to hear more from your favorite celebrities, and if that's what you're into, there are a lot of options out there.

Tons of stars have their own podcasts now, where they interview their famous friends, tell behind-the-scenes stories about the movie and TV sets they've worked on, and share personal stories about their lives that you probably haven't heard before. If that sounds right up your alley, next time you're looking for a new podcast to listen to, you should definitely try one of these.

"Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard" always takes a deep dive.

If you've ever wanted to listen to a no holds barred, in-depth conversation involving your favorite celebrities — including Shepard and wife Kristen Bell — this is the podcast for you. Every episode, Shepard invites a celebrity on to chat and asks all kinds of personal questions about their pasts, trying to figure out how it made them who they are today. You'll especially love this podcast if you're a fan of "Parenthood," since his former co-stars frequently make appearances.

"Anna Faris is Unqualified" combines advice with celebrity interviews.

Fans of "Armchair Expert" will also enjoy "Anna Faris is Unqualified." Faris' podcast also involves a celebrity guest each episode, but after the interview is done, they take calls and dish out advice to their listeners, while reminding them that they definitely aren't professionals.

"Getting Curious" with Jonathan Van Ness is entertaining and educational.
