I needed something new to listen to during my morning getting ready routine. I liked my music but something about it wasn’t satisfying me enough. I ventured into the podcast world and now I can’t let them go.
Here’s my top five podcasts that I’m probably listening to if you see me wearing earbuds.
1. The Daily, The New York Times
Via the New York Times
I’m a news junkie and there’s so much to absorb from around the world these days. It’s so hard to keep up. The New York Times’ podcast, The Daily, keeps me up to date on an important story or two going on. Hosted by Times political journalist Michael Barbaro, and uploaded Monday through Friday at 6:30am he brings on experts on different topics like Congress, the White House, the Middle East. Their presidential election coverage is fantastic and summarizes everything you need to know so well, from pieces on specific candidates, to going over debates and town halls. The Daily will give you that extra knowledge about current events that you can impress your friends with.
2. Business of Fashion
Via Apple Podcasts
I think the business side of fashion is so fascinating. This happens to be the field that I want to eventually work in. This podcast keeps me up to date on everything going on in the fashion industry. From sustainability, marketing, business models, bankruptcy, and business deals. Imran Amed brings guests that are able to discuss these topics in depth, give their experience in the fashion industry and how they see where the future of fashion is headed.
