If you’ve been around here for a little bit, you know that I LOVE podcasts. I think since I started staying home with my kids and working from home, I listen all the time. I think podcasts kind of stepped in to fill the void of my colleagues. It’s a way to get that adult talk without being in an office. Of course, I talk to real people too. When I’m working though, I’m all about a good podcast.
I listen to them when I’m cleaning, driving and of course when I’m working. Since I listen to so much and so many, I have a few – ok, several, that I LOVE!
I know for some of my stay at home and work from home mom friends, podcasts are their jam. It seems like so many new ones are popping up too. So, allow me to share some of my faves with you!
Yes, Girl – This podcast is just a fun listen. It’s brought to you by Essence Magazine aka Black Girl Magic Headquarters. It’s like catching up with your girlfriends. They share their perspectives on the things going on in pop culture. They also do an interview with various people from Eve to Devon Franklin. It’s always a good convo and you can tell the guests are super comfortable too. That’s how they get the best interviews.
Serial – I’d heard about this podcast for a while before I jumped in. Once I did, I was hooked. They follow court cases and take a look at the justice system and what it lacks. I was so sucked in and emotional about many of the cases. They don’t cut any corners about the racist practices of the justice system and call it out. I’m left wondering how it can all be fixed.
Brown Ambition – These two ladies are awesome. They cover finances in the most relatable and fun way. Finance can be such an intimidating topic but not the way they handle it. There’s a lot of laughs here too. We go through one of those buying a home and all that entails. We also get more personal with the other host going through procedures to have her first child. Seriously, this is not your average financial podcast!
Still Processing – Listen, a friend recommending this one when I put out the call over a year ago looking for new podcasts to listen to. I have been a fan ever since. It’s two culture writers from the New York Times taking on the biggest issues in pop culture and race in a very thoughtful and intellectual way that is addicting. When this show when on hiatus, I felt the drought and binged past seasons as I waited for their return. Sooo good!
Pod Save America – I don’t know I found this podcast. It’s managed to teach me a TON about the political world though. The host are former Obama staffers and their take on the current state of politics is smart and humorous. They don’t just lay out the issues though. They offer solutions as well for the folks in politics as well as the average listener.
Those are five of my faves. I have a ton more to share but I don’t want to overload you. So let’s just start with these for now. Are there any podcasts that you can’t get enough of? Let me know in the comments!
