Seven Great Podcasts

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at HWS chapter.

Podcasts are a great way to kill time. I like to listen them when going for a walk or doing chores. They are not only fun, but also interesting, and I’ve managed to learn a lot about various topics from them. Here is a list of some of my favorite podcasts that I love listening to! 

1.    36 Questions

36 Questions is a musical podcast, in which a husband and wife, in order to reconcile their relationship, ask each other the famous 36 questions that a scientific study claimed makes you fall in love. The series only has three episodes, so it’s relatively quick to listen to them all of them. The actors are also great, including Jonathan Groff, of Frozen and Hamilton and the Broadway actress, Jessie Shelton.

2.    Gilmore Guys

Gilmore Guys is a pretty simple show two guys sit and recap episodes of Gilmore Girls; even with the simple format it manages to be very intriguing and funny. In each episode the two hosts discuss and different episode and even sometimes bring in actors from the show and other fans.

3.    If I Were You

If I Were You is a comedy advice podcast from the College Humor’s Jake and Amir. The two attempt to answer listener submitted questions each week, but it generally goes off the rails in one way or another.

4.    Invisibila

Invisibila is a psychology-based podcast that looks at the invisible forces that act on our lives every day. It is an interesting and informative show about why we do the things we do.  

5.    My Favorite Murder

My Favorite Murder looks at the obsession in that many people have with true crime. Each episode the hosts talk about different murderers and serial killers, along with their own obsession with true crime. If you like crime stories, this is the podcast for you.

6.    This American Life

This American Life is a classic podcast hosted by the iconic Ira Glass. Each week focuses on a different theme, and stories are told based around the theme. Each of the stories are great and range from humorous to heart-wrenching. As one of my all time favorite podcasts, I truly believe that This American Life is a must listen.  

7.    Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!

Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me is a quiz show that based on current events from the week. Each week a different panel of comedians get quizzed on current events, and one celebrity guest gets quizzed, too! The show is generally short and a fun way to learn about what happened in the past week around the world.
