9 Podcasts for Women in their 20s
In the last couple of years, I have become an avid podcast listener. I honestly didn't understand the hype until I started downloading podcasts for myself.
I love listening to music, but sometimes it's nice to listen to something different in the car or when you're getting ready for work. A lot of the podcasts I discover are from advertising on other podcasts--so my list continues to grow.
I also listen to a lot of podcasts put on by people from the Bachelor franchise since I have a huge obsession with every show in that franchise. Even though they are hosted by people from the Bachelor franchise, only a couple of them actually base their podcast on talking about the show.
This list is in no particular order.
1. Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe
If you don't start listening to any podcast on this list but this one, then I'll feel like I have done my job. This is my favorite podcast of all time. Kaitlyn Bristowe, a former Bachelorette, is the host of this bi-weekly podcast. Every Tuesday and Thursday you can expect amazing guests on this hour-long show. Some previous guests include lots of previous Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants, along with singers like Walker Hayes and High Valley, and even reality stars like Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag. I seriously can't wait for this podcast to come out every week.
2. I Don't Get It
This is another one of my favorites. Put on by Ashley and Lauren Iaconetti and Naz Perez, this podcast has made me laugh out loud more than once. Ashley, Lauren, and Naz hold nothing back in this lifestyle podcast. They cover everything they "don't get" in the world, including relationships, sex, and dating. They even did a mini-series on occupations they "don't get" like funeral directors and professional cuddlers. This podcast never fails to make me laugh, and I learn something new every time I listen.
3. The Melissa Ambrosini Show
This is a health, fitness and lifestyle-based podcast hosted by Australian Melissa Ambrosini. Every week she has various experts, doctors, and authors on that cover topics like gut health, spirituality, sexuality, and positive thinking. An added benefit is listening to Melissa's amazing Australian accent!
4. Lore
This is a podcast that is pretty different from any other podcast I listen to. This is hosted by Aaron Mahnke. Twice a week, he shares various stories about tragic historical events and old folklore. These stories can be frightening, but extremely intriguing. I listen to this podcast when I want to listen to a story-like podcast as opposed to informative ones like I usually listen to.
5. Your Favorite Thing
This podcast is hosted by Wells Adams and Brandi Cyrus, aka Miley Cyrus' older sister. This is a pretty random podcast where they talk about what their favorite things are that week. They usually have a guest on as well to mix it up. Some previous guests include Noah Cyrus and Luke Pell.
6. The Morning Breath
I am officially a "breather" as they like to call it on the show--meaning I am a loyal follower of The Morning Breath. This is a daily morning show originally shown live on Facebook video. However, every episode is recorded and created into a podcast to download on the podcast app. This show is hosted by Claudia and Jackie Oshry who give you daily pop news or, "the fast five stories you need to know before you wake up and smell your own morning breath." They put their own opinions and spin on these stories and that's what makes it extremely funny. I can always count on this shows to put me in a good mood and make me laugh.
7. TED Radio Hour
I am one of those people who love learning about random things. This is the perfect podcast for that. Every week, there is a theme of the show that is based around various TED Talks. The show plays excerpts from TED talks as well as has on guests to let us know more about the topic being covered. Some topics that have been covered are space, time, mental health, and the questions of life in general.8. Almost Famous
This is another podcast where Ashley Iaconetti is a host along with previous Bachelor Ben Higgins. This is the only podcast on this list that is actually built around debriefing each Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachelor in Paradise episode. If you're not a Bachelor franchise watcher, then this podcast is not for you, but if you are, they put an interesting spin on analyzing these shows.
9. Adulthood Made Easy
This is the perfect self-help podcasts for those of us entering the "real world." Sam Zabell covers topics like saving money, dating after college, making friends after college, and living on your own.
I download my podcasts for free on the pre-downloaded Podcast app for iPhone. However, there are a lot of other apps you can download podcasts like Spotify and Google Play.
Happy listening!
