Haven’t you heard? Podcasts are the newest trend right now. Did you know that there are more than 11,000 podcasts out there? Well, according to my professor. But, it’s true. There are SO many podcasts on the internet that you guys may not even know about. So, here is our team’s top favorites. 

Crime Junkie 

This is by far the number one podcast you need to listen to if you need a good scare, or just have an interest in true crime. Co-hosts Ashley Flowers and Brit, research heavily on some of the most intense murders, serial killers, and missing cases, that make you second guess everyone around you. If there is one thing we’ve learned from this podcast it is to stay weird, stay rude, and stay alive.

Gals On The Go

Calling every boss b*tch who is constantly on the go! Gals on the Go is hosted by college student/YouTuber, Danielle Carolan and recent college graduate/YouTuber, Brooke Miccio. These two influencers are the definition of women who get sh*t done—we love that energy. This podcast is a mix of entertainment, tips on productivity, and everyday basic conversations. There is a nice blend of solo podcast episodes, episodes hosted by the dynamic duo, and interviews with other influencers, college students, etc.

Dissect Podcast 

Are you into music? I mean like really into music? Then this podcast is something you might want to look into. This podcast was created to analyze songs, measure by measure, lyric by lyric. Who doesn’t love analyzing music?

Basically Basic

We all have a little basic in us and if you think you don’t, you’re wrong. This podcast stars Cammie Avers and Amanda Lackey who give glory to the big and basic things (you know, like the Bachelor, Starbucks, the basic of the basic). What’s more relatable than two friends being basic together?

For The Girl 

This podcast is hosted by two best friends, MacKenzie Wilson and Mackenzie Baker from Delight Ministries. The two discuss the relationships, faith, and struggles of women. This is a podcast for the girls expectant for their future, for the girl who is ready to grow, for the girl who needs answers to life with some honesty. It’s perfect for a college girl who just needs a little guidance.
