Podcasts are growing as a popular form of media. They’re convenient ways to learn about something you’re interested in or listen to hilarious people. From commutes to the gym, podcasts are easily accessible and vary in length, so if you can’t listen to something for more than twenty minutes, there’s a podcast for you. The following are must listen podcasts that consistently deliver with every episode.
Glowing Up with Esther and Caroline
This hilarious podcast is hosted by Esther Povitsky (Crazy Ex Girlfriend and Alone Together) and Caroline Goldfarb (writer). These two talk all things glowy: skin care, makeup, health, fitness and lifestyle. Sometimes they bring on a guest who is established in some field of beauty (think Golden Sun Shyne, who did Beyonce’s makeup for Lemonade). They do product reviews and are honest about which products are good and which are not. Episodes include “glow ups”, which is when they do something that improves their lifestyle, or a “glow down”, which is when they do something that isn’t particularly glowy.
