Podcasts have become extremely popular over the past year and it seems like every influencer is either hosting on and being a guest nowadays. But which ones are the best and are they even worth listening to? I listened to four podcasts–some more popular, some maybe you haven’t heard of. I listened to all of these on Spotify, although if you don’t have that app, then then you can also listen on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts or Pocket casts.
“New Heights With Jason & Travis Kelce” is a podcast hosted by. . .you guessed it: Jason and Travis Kelce. On their podcast they talk about American football, culture and society. On the episode I listened to, they had a very special guest: Adam Sandler, and the three talked over many topics, including Sandler’s comedy/movie career and how that started off, his favorite memories of his career, then moved on to his family life. This podcast was a nice distraction and was pretty entertaining and funny with all of their different personalities and, of course, Sandler knows how to make everything funny. I recommend listening to this podcast, especially if you are cleaning, driving or coloring like I did!
“Crime Junkie” is a true crime podcasts that goes over many topics such as: murders, missing people, people who are wanted and much more. “Crime Junkie” is hosted by Ashley Flowers; she makes it very clear that when she is diving into true crime, she is not only learning more about the case but also about giving a voice to the victims and understanding their lives behind what you may see on the news. This episode is talking about Helen Betty Osborne and diving into the details of what exactly happened, who killed her and why would it remain a secret for so many years? I truly recommend this podcast if you want to understand and learn more about true crime. I would recommend listening to this podcast while taking notes. Personally I went on a walk and did some chores while listening; therefore, I could give it my main attention.
“Smartless” is a comedy podcast hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett. The trio brings in a special guest every week, and interviews them. I looked up one of their most popular episodes and “Will Ferrell” showed up, so I thought that would be a great one to listen to! This episode goes over many topics about Ferrell from his childhood to his SNL career, and the combination of these men were incredible funny. I caught myself laughing multiple times. I really do recommend listing to this podcast; they were very funny and caught my attention right away. For me this was a podcast where I felt like didn’t have to do any kind of activity; I could just sit, listen and relax.
“Affirmation Pod” is a podcast that offers weekly affirmations about confidence, motivation and finding contentment. “Affirmation Pod” is hosted by Josie Ong and makes her episodes very easy and short to listen to. Even if you are in a hurry, give her 10-15 minutes of your time and listen to her weekly affirmations. Without a doubt I recommend listening to this podcast; it is very short and extremely easy to listen to. I would recommend giving yourself 10 minutes and just listen.
