Every few years, there’s something ‘trendy’ that influences people in a certain direction. Some trends work, some fade away very quickly. Do you know what trend won’t fade anytime soon? Podcasts!

This might sound random, but the truth is podcasts are entertaining and there are so many different genres to choose from. This means there’s a podcast for everyone to listen to no matter what time of the day, whether it’s early in the morning or after a long busy day.

For example, there’s one called “Directionally Challenged” hosted by Candice King and Kayla Ewell. They’re best known for their roles on the hit CW television series “The Vampire Diaries.” They talk about different topics such as: their careers, motherhood, entertainment, dating, and more. This is satisfying to listen to and if you’re a fan of “The Vampire Diaries” then this is the podcast for you!

“EW’s Binge”, hosted by Entertainment Weekly, talks about the biggest moments defining pop culture. They’ve reviewed “The Vampire Diaries,” “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” “Schitt’s Creek,” and many more. They’ve had executive producers, actors, and actresses from these projects, and they reveal shocking information about them.

One that is very much needed for the Latinx community called “En La Sala” was hosted by Mexican American actress, singer, and rapper, Becky G in its first. Season two is currently hosted by Venezuelan actress, singer, and YouTuber, Evaluna Montaner. “En La Sala” talks about relevant topics such as music, mental health, voting rights, LGBTQ, representation, and many more.
