I love listening to podcasts when I’m driving or even doing mundane tasks around the house. They can be both super entertaining and also informative!

There are so many podcasts out there. I’m sure you could find something specifically tailored to your exact interested and curiosities, and I thought I’d share a few of my favorites today!

  1. Stuff You Should Know. I love this podcast. The guys, Chuck and Josh are so easy to listen to. They cover totally random topics from makeup to mass hysteria to Star Wars to water slides. I love how easy it is to listen to these guys. Highly recommend!
  2. The Lively Show. This is another frequently listened to of mine, but I will admit my interest is fading just a little bit. It covers a lot of self-help type subjects, intention setting and values, but it also is interesting to listen to entrepreneurs and hear how they got started.
  3. Serial, season 1. I could not get into the second season, but season one was addicting! Definitely worth a listen if you like mysteries, law, and a good story.
  4. This American Life. This was the first podcast that I ever listened to. It’s easy to listen to, and the content/stories cover a huge range.

What are your favorites?

Speaking of cleaning up around the house & getting things done, here‘s how I (don’t) juggle it all!

Hi Kate! Love your blog, youtube & snapchat 🙂 I’m also obsessed with Stuff You Should Know and This American Life!

My current favorite podcasts:

Revive our Hearts with Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth (all time favorite)
God Centered Mom (Heather MacFadyen–a new favorite)
FamilyLife Today (Dennis Rainey)
This Is Your Life with Michael Hyatt (one my husband also likes–leadership, productivity)
Building Relationships (Gary Chapman–author of The Five Love Languages)
Focus on the Family
Brooklyn Tabernacle Sermon Podcast (Jim Cymbala, also other pastors from their church and many guest pastors–Tuesday night prayer meetings and Sunday morning sermons–this is a church that is really famous for their choir, but they are also very serious about prayer!!)

Stuff You Missed in History Class is produced by the same company as Stuff you should know and it’s awesome! I have never really been a big history fan but this podcast makes it so interesting (I also really liked Serial and the serial killer episodes are some of my faves!) Michael Hyatts This is Your Life, Dave Ramsey’s EntreLeadership, Mike Rowes The Way I Heard It (similar to Paul Harvey’s And Now you Know the Rest of the Story). NPRs Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me – this is a radio show they make available in podcast form but it’s delightfully entertaining. Josh and Chuck are still my faves though!

Modern Love (not like the Aziz Ansari book) podcast – based on The New York Times’ popular series of weekly reader-submitted essays. Notable celebrities read the stories, and then there is an update on the writer at the end.

She’s the lady from Piyo and her blog is about fitness, organization, relationships and living a happy lifestyle.

I just searched your site yesterday to see if you had any podcast recommendations, so this came at the perfect time. I love listening while folding laundry, cleaning or traveling. Recently, I started listening to The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey. Each week she invites a girlfriend to “talk about the little things in life, the big things in life and everything in between”. It’s a lot of fun!

Reply
Madeline says · 04.29.16

You REALLY should try listening to the Big Boo Cast by Christian authors Sophie Hudson and Melanie Shankle. They started this podcast years ago (like early 2000’s) and talk about life, beauty products, college sports, etc. Obviously a huge variety 🙂 Melanie wrote one of my all time favorite books, Nobody’s Cuter Than You:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_12?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=melanie+shankle&sprefix=melanie+shan%2Caps%2C218

and Sophie wrote another one of my favorites, A Little Salty to Cut the Sweet:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_13?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=sophie+hudson&sprefix=sophie+hudson%2Cstripbooks%2C292&rh=n%3A283155%2Ck%3Asophie+hudson

They are SO funny and the podcast is super easy to listen to! I can’t recommend their books and the podcast enough!

Memory Palace is my FAVORITE!

Mandy says · 04.29.16

Criminal. I love it. I think it’s http://thisiscriminal.com/. Anyhoo, they are 20 minutes long, which is a great reward for me. Ok, fold the laundry and you can listen to one.

But it has a HUGE variety of ‘criminal’ stories. From a conspiracy theory that an owl actually killed the wife of a man who was sentenced to life, to a reduction in crime in a seedy neighborhood because a man put an inexpensive Buddah out on a stoop. Also there is a live interview with a woman who sits with people who opt to die with dignity. I really love them, and if I am not mistaken, they are produced in N. Carolina.

Jennifer says · 04.29.16

As a food blogger, I find the Food Blogger Pro podcast really valuable as well as Darren Rowse’s ProBlogger podcast, which frankly I think anyone in business today would find useful.

I’m not the least bit crafty but I really enjoy the Elise Gets Crafty podcast. She talks a lot about creativity and living a creative life and she interviews artists and crafters about their work and what drives them.

For fun, I love Lore, which describes itself as frightening history behind common folklore. It’s really entertaining and would appeal to anyone who likes mystery and suspense and folklore.

I listen a little to podcasts in the car or before bed if I can’t sleep but podcasts are mainly my reward while I do dishes and get housework done. Mundane activities are so much more fun if I can listen to something entertaining.

I was just looking for new podcasts to listen to. I’ll have to give yours and some of the other commenters a try! This is probably a strange addition to the podcast list on a beauty blog but the only podcast I listen to right now is The Fantasy Footballers. Yes, it helps me compete in our fantasy football league but they guys are just so darn entertaining they keep me hooked even in the off-season.

Reply
Bethany says · 04.29.16

I’ll second some of the podcasts mentioned by other commenters:

-The Popcast : keeps me updated on pop culture news without me having to do the work-a slight indulgence
-Happier: Has helped me understand myself SO much better & is fun to listen to 2 sisters do the show
-Sorta Awesome & The Happy Hour: I only listen to select episodes that interest me but both are excellent!

A new one: The West Wing Weekly-I recently became obsessed with The West Wing on Netflix. As a busy mom, you may not have time for it but I love hearing a semi-narration of each episode by Josh Malina (also from Scandal) & Hrishi Hirway from Song Exploder.

Here’s the Thing with Alec Baldwin is really good too. Great interviews of celebrities, politicians, etc.

Thanks for sharing!

I agree with a few other viewers with The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey. It’s the best faith-based podcast for women out there (it’s the only one I’ve listened to though, so take that with a grain of salt). I’ve laughed, cried, and been inspired all in one hour!

If you haven’t listened to NPR’s Invisibilia yet then you need to! Season 2 is about to come out in June and I’m so excited! Their podcasts cover “invisible forces that control human behavior” and each one has 2 real life stories that are so strange and fascinating! A woman who doesn’t experience fear, a man trapped in a vegetation state for 13 years – they’re all so good!

Reply
Katie says · 04.29.16

I love this! I absolutely love listening to podcasts so getting to share my favorites and get new suggestions is perfect! Some of these have already been mentioned but I’ll list them again to reiterate how great they are.

-Love + Radio
-The Moth
-Invisibilia (also on hiatus but the archives are worth listening to)
-99% Invisible

Reply
Sherri says · 04.29.16

My new favorite is Strangers with Lea Thau…”Each episode is an empathy shot in your arm, featuring true stories about the people we meet, the connections we make, the heartbreak we suffer, the kindnesses we encounter, and those frightful moments when we discover that WE aren’t even who we thought we were.”
I am hooked on this and cannot wait to hear each new episode. My favorites are “Two Men and a Baby” (and the follow-up), “Elizabeth and Mary” (has 3 or 4 parts), and the new series she’s doing called “Dumb Sh$#@ We Do”, though they are all great, thought-provoking stories. Her voice is a little too soothing to listen to in the car, but is great for bedtime!

I love the Lively Show too and will admit my interest as faded a bit as things have gotten more into the intuition side of things. I really enjoyed the entrepreneurship talk.

You MUST check out Fat Mascara. It’s a podcast by two beauty editors from Marie Claire and Cosmo. They talk a lot about products and then there’s always an interview at the end with an “industry expert”. Debra Lippman, Sarah Potempa (Beachwaver), Pat Wexler have all been on recently. I look forward to every single episode. A must-listen if you’re a beauty lover!

The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin is a fun self-improvement read that you might want to check out. Also “Lean In” (unsure of author) got a lot of buzz last year.

As a stay-at-home mom of three very little ones (and one more on the way), I have no time to sit in front of the TV, so my entire source of entertainment is podcasting since it allows me to multi-task. I am also a political junkie (which is pretty evident in my list below).

1. Michael Medved – Politics, pop culture, news commentary
2. Dennis Prager – Politics, but also very philosophical with hours every week devoted to ultimate issues, male/female relationships, importance happiness
3. Sandals Church Sermons – California-based Christian church, wonderful, insightful Bible-based sermons weekly
4. The Classicist With Victor Davis Hanson – Great insights into current events
5. Cato Daily Podcast – Intersting perspectives from a libertarian point of view

The first season of Serial was very addicting. I never heard season 2, but I think I have enough to listen to already. 🙂

I listened to This American Life for a few months, but could no longer take the persistent secular leftism.

I would also like to recommend The Memory Palace. My SIL recommended it to me, and I couldn’t be more grateful. They are usually just 15 minutes and each one features a true but less-known story of unexpected American heroes, like James Audubon. I like that you learn some history in a way that connects you emotionally to that history. I’m not typically someone who cries easily, but even when I’m listening to Memory Palace while exercising at the gym I just can’t help but cry. He makes the history so personal.

Others I enjoy:

*The Nerdist (but their language is horrific, so I only listen if I’m super interested in their interviewee).
*The Writer’s Almanac with Garrison Keillor. A quick 5-minute daily podcast with Keillor sharing “On this day in history…” tidbits plus a single short poem. You don’t have to be a writer or literary to enjoy this.
*Freakonimics Radio

I’ve been in a deep season emotionally and I’ve needed “light” in my earbuds.

The Popcast Podcast is my current favorite to make me laugh. Like, laugh out loud in public.

The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey – I have no clue how she gets her line up of amazing women to interview

Off Camera with Sam Jones – he has made me really like some people – interviews way beyond talk shows

At Home with Sally – about mothering – I’m not a mother but would love to be. I learn so much from her simply about my walk with the Lord

Gravy and America’s Test Kitchen Radio are my two favorite food podcasts. So very different but both excellent.

Totally agree about Serial season 2. I’m about 7 episodes behind and really don’t care that I am.

I am so in love with podcasts! This American Life is the first one I listen to every week, but I have several favorites.
For when I want to walk away feeling knowledgeable and inspired (they are so shockingly entertaining):
-Freakonomics
-TED radio hour
-The Savvy Psychologist
-Radiolab

For when I want a different perspective on things, and to flex my empathy muscle:
-Dear Sugar
-Death, Sex + Money
-The Moth

For when I am feeling spicy (still working on finding a better podcast in this category):
-Savage Love
-Speaking of Sex (Although I only like their ‘Just the tip” episodes. Tee hee)

One great side effect of podcasts is that I find it gives me endless topics to talk about with people. It’s great, deeper conversation you can have with husband in front of kids or over dinner. It makes it easy to avoid weather talk and chat with co-workers who might be quiet. I just love them!

Reply
Molly says · 05.02.16

Glad to know I don’t stand alone with Serial. I loved season 1, but season 2 I never got into. It just didn’t give the same edge of mystery that season 1 did.

If you are a Serial fan, check out Criminal. Same kind of vibe, but the stories are different week to week.

Great post! I look forward to trying some of these podcasts.

My regular listens besides other that have been mentioned about are:

The History Chicks – Beckett and Susan present women from all walks of life throughout history, very entertaining, thorough, and packed full of information. These ladies are a great listen and are child friendly maybe 95% of the time, giving you warnings there is content that you might want to listen by yourself. Also, their website/blog is packed full of Wikipedia-like information in case you want to know more about any topic.

Up Yours, Downstairs! – If you are a Downtown Abbey fan, just start at the beginning and relive your very first introduction to the Crawley family. Witty, sarcastic, emotional…they just add to my enjoyment of this show.
