My Favorite Podcast Lineup

What are some of your favorite podcasts? Do you have podcasts that you look forward to? Ones that you know when new episodes drop and you play them first thing in the morning? Ones that bring you so much joy?! Well, I hope you do. But if you don’t, I’m here to help. These are some of the podcasts I listen to on a weekly or daily basis. I’m slightly obsessed.

Wait, why a podcast?

Okay, listen. Podcasts are AMAZING! I don’t even think I’m overreacting capitalizing that. They truly are amazing. You can learn so many different things, hear different stories and perspectives from all kinds of people. There are fun podcasts and education podcasts. Seriously, there is something for everyone!

Podcast #1: Happier with Gretchen Rubin

This is seriously one I look forward to every week! It is one of my favorite podcasts. They have new episodes every Wednesday and I like to listen to them while I’m getting ready in the morning. They stick to a similar format every week, which is oddly comforting. They talk about happiness hacks, sometimes do an interview, and have a try-this-at-home segment. They bring me so much joy!

Podcast #2: Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!

This is such a fun one! Host Peter Sagal asks panelist questions about the news and current events while listeners call in to play different games. They also always have a “Not My Job” segment with a celebrity, musician, author, etc. They panelist are all so funny! It’ll make you laugh while you learn something! You’ll feel v cultured and smart after, promise.

Podcast #3: The Bobby Bones Show

I love listening to this podcast while I work! They are based out of Nashville and are mostly played on country radio stations, but they are not exclusively country! They play different trivia games, talk about news, take calls, and just overall have a feel-good vibe. They do occasionally talk with some country singers, but even if you don’t like country music I think you will enjoy this podcast! I give it five out of five banjos (IYKYK).

Podcast #4: Call Your Girlfriend

Hosts Ann Friedman and Aminatou Sow are long distance besties who get together and chat about pop culture, politics, and everything in between. They are both extremely smart and cultured, I honestly love to hear the world from their view. To me, they are the epitome of cool. I long to be their third bestie, maybe someday! *crosses fingers*

Podcast #5: Office Ladies

Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey from everyone’s favorite TV show “The Office” discuss each episode and do a deep dive into the behind the scenes. I think this podcast is so interesting! I’ve never been a part of any TV show, so to hear their experiences is very enlightening. I do feel like I actually watch TV (especially “The Office”) differently! I find myself thinking, “Is that a real bat?” or “How many takes did they have to slam that beer?” And “The Office” is amazing so it’s great to re-live it!

There are a million (literally, probably) of other podcasts. We’ve only scratched the surface. What are some of your favorite podcasts? Do you like daily/weekly ones or ones you can binge? Let me know!

Much love,
