#1: The Broski Report
There is truly no one on this earth that makes me laugh harder than Brittany Broski. Between her presence on TikTok, YouTube, and podcast, Brittany covers a vast amount of topics with her quick wit and passion for what she’s talking about. It takes a special kind of host that can talk about social and political issues as well as her graphic love for celebrities in one episode, while keeping me laughing the entire time. She keeps me captivated in topics I’d never even considered to research, let alone listen to entire episodes about. Her episodes are a bit all over the place, but I appreciate how she is still capable of connecting her topics. She’s relatable and hilarious, and I cannot stress enough how much I enjoy hearing her speak. She’s educated yet opinionated in the best way. I will never be able to stress enough how much I love everything Brittany Broski puts on the internet.
#2: Hot Mess with Alix Earle
I tend to stray away from GRWM TikTokers (mainly because I’m jealous of everything they have), but I could not stay away from Alix Earle. So much so, that I was anxiously awaiting her podcast when it was first announced, and she did not disappoint. She talks about the ins and outs of her life after college, relationships, and gushes about her friends and family. My absolute favorite part is that she’s so transparent in talking about how social media is not at all like real life. She might be famous and dating an NFL player, but she feels like every other college girl getting through their twenties in Hot Mess.
#3: Trying Not to Care
This podcast was an absolute lifesaver during my lowest points of college. The host, Ashley Corbo, brings a big sister aspect to her show that pairs comfort with advice. With shorter episodes typically around thirty minutes, Corbo brings listeners through breakup advice, personal growth, and general ways to feel better in your own skin. I go to her podcast whenever I need a pick-me-up or a slap back to reality. She never messes around and always keeps it real, which I love in an advice podcast.
#4: The Bald and the Beautiful
Trixie Mattel and Katya are some of the most entertaining and witty people I’ve ever heard. They talk about drag, current events, and all around just the craziest things you’ve ever heard. Their banter is so compelling and keeps me laughing the entire hour.
#5: Brooke and Connor Make a Podcast
Brooke and Connor are best known for their individual breakthroughs on TikTok, but together they have some of the funniest banter I’ve come across. The two of them bounce off each other’s jokes and commentary so naturally it feels like you’re having a conversation with them. They’re so comically themselves, and I love listening to them especially on long drives back and forth from school. I’ve also never rooted for two platonic friends to be in a relationship this much in my life.
