Which podcasts are you loving these days? I have my regular tech industry pods (Reply All, Betakit’s CanCon podcast, Recode Decode, Too Embarrassed to Ask, etc etc) but I like to go beyond those.
My current favourite podcast (as in, I watch for new episodes every Friday and download and listen as quickly as I can) is Call Your Girlfriend. I love how hosts Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman talk about politics and pop culture and everything in between. They’re smart, warm, and I feel like I’m catching up with old friends every time I listen. The most current episode features an interview with Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood. It was seriously inspirational.
When I’m in a light-hearted, self-care mood, Forever35 is just the ticket. Hosts Doree and Kate discuss makeup and skincare routines with a bunch of great guests.
It’s been gone for years, but I still miss the Oprah show. I get little doses of the Wonderful One through her Super Soul Sessions podcast. It’s the closest I come to going to church.
And I just read on Twitter that Jonathan van Ness (of Queer Eye fame) has a podcast called Getting Curious. Can you believe? Downloading now.
