Summer has blazed in hotter than a maximum potency dab. The swamp is swamping, politics are out, and where can you find us? Kicking back and trying to keep cool the way we know best: with the drop of our Gold Pods we’re plugging in, switching up, and vaping out for our terpy-est summer yet. You may be asking: “These sound amazing, but what are the Gold Pods?” Well, let us tell you…

Gold Pods combine our Liquid Diamonds & Sauce through a multi-step separation and reintegration process. The result? A clean, potent, strain-specific high. This all topped off with a magnetic pod connection for fast, seamless swaps and adjustable voltage settings to fine tune the experience.

So clearly, it’s the summer of the Pod. And keeping to the theme, we’re dropping some of our favorite pod pairings; yes, by that we mean podcasts that go puff-in-puff with our Gold Pods.

Pod on Pod

Popular belief? Podcasts are still in. Actually, very in. More than half of Americans are reported podcast listeners, which certainly says a lot since getting a majority on anything is basically impossible in 2026. Didn’t you know we’re too lazy to actually read the news these days? If you’re like most of us, you opt for a ten-minute catch up with the day’s three biggest stories instead. Thanks, NPR!

Plus, there’s a pod for everything. History buff? Go all in with Hardcore History. More into “I’ll take my history three joints deep”? Well, there’s a podcast for that too.

When it comes to our summer 2026 lineup, we’re looking for that balanced hybrid of comedy, education, and good old-fashioned storytelling. So without further ado:

Dope as Usual: Let’s start with our favorite weed influencer’s pod. Yola, or Dope As Yola, was named by Forbes “The Most Popular Cannabis Content Creator in the World.” His podcast Dope as Usual, co-hosted with Marty O’Neill, is that perfect sweet spot of baked comedy and candid conversation. Turn up your summer weekends with the ultimate combo: Dope As Usual + the Lemon Royale Gold Pod. Laughter dialed up to ten, plus a bonus hit of inspiration to pod out while doing that much-needed kitchen deep clean (yes, stoners can be productive too).

99% Invisible: Sometimes we forget to be curious. We’re doom scrolling TikTok, racing from work to home, and we no longer ask ourselves: where’s the longest fence in the world, or what are the origins of the modern-day fast-food hamburger? This is the pod that stops us in our tracks and uncovers the hidden stories behind the everyday. It also just answers the questions that we ask ourselves when we’re super baked and then totally forget to research. So yeah, 99% Invisible was essentially made for stoners. Which is why it pairs so beautifully with the Beach Cake Gold Pod: ears perked up and ready to learn… while simultaneously creating the world’s most epic nacho snack.

Risk!: OK, now this is a fun one. Stories and nothing but stories. Perfect for a stoned summer picnic, a stoned summer porch hang, a stoned summer anything, really. Our personal favorites? The scary stories collection. Ghost stories at their finest with enough humor to make you pee your pants from more than just a well-placed jump scare. Get into the storytelling mood with something cozy-on-the-couch forward, and with enough giggles to keep your attention piqued; drum roll please… presenting the Florida Wedding Gold Pod.

Even More Reasons Why We Love a Pod

Here’s the magic of pod’ing while pod’ed. You’re high, you’re getting educated (baked history is still history), and you can be productive at the same time. Let that blow your mind, stoner.

Imagine this: retiling your bathroom with the help of a Spritzer Gold Pod, all while learning about the rise and fall of Rome. Or maybe that highdea, with a little inspiration from the How I Built This podcast, becomes the big break you needed to quit your day job. Just saying, in a world where kids walk down the street yelling ‘six seven,’ anything is possible.

But to start. There are literally millions of podcasts. And thirteen brand-new signature Gold Pods. So defy that urge to Netflix and chill: instead, plug in, switch up, and vape out, all while listening to the next episode that will change your life.
