In my mid 20s, I discovered podcasts. These were the shows that made me fall in love with podcasts. I love the true crime stuff, but more importantly I love a show that I can relate to but is also fun to sit in traffic and listen to. It made those cr...
Specifically season 1 had my jaw on the floor. The turn it took.. are you kidding?!?!
Up and Vanished
There's a reason why Serial is the gateway podcast. It's just so good. I'd listen to this in my mid/early 20s on my drives down the coast to hang out in San Diego.
Serial
This podcast hasn't been updated since 2017, but it stays in my library in hopes she comes back with an update. For whatever the Randy episodes where my absolute favorite.
Why Oh Why
The podcast that became a show on hulu. Tbh, I havent seen the show. I'm scared it'll ruin the podcast for me. The emotional rollercoaster of it all.. ugh. I'm not one to cry, but if you are.. you've been warned.
Dying For Sex
Wait! Did this turn into a show too? Ok, well.. I don't know if I was tired of what, but it took me a good second to realize this was all fiction. At that point I was in way too deep to stop. Such a great way to story tell.
The Horror of Dolores Roach
Another fiction podcast. These stories, although fake, would drag me deep in.
Solve
This podcasts is from the makers of serial, so I knew it was going to be good. Every episode made me want to know what was next with John. I might need to relisten to this and revist John's S Town.
S-Town
There are times that I just want to listen to something that might creep me out. This is that. This is the podcast for that.
Radio Rental
You start listening to one inspiring human, and then you start listening to others. There are some amazing people that I also get to learn about through this podcast that I had never heard of before.
Keep it Aloha
I mean.. Trader Joes.
Inside Trader Joe's
My jaw is clenched hearing all these real life stories of people surviving the most unimaginable things. The endings are always my favorite to hear how they've recovered and moved on from the most horrific of things.
I Survived
I can go down the rabbit hole of all my favorite companies and their humble beginnings.
How I Built This with Guy Raz
Listening to the perspective from a serial killer's daughter. This one gets heavy at times, but it really just sucks you in.
Happy Face
This one was surprisingly fun to listen to. It had me coming back every so often to listen to the inmates and their creativity even behind bars.
Ear Hustle
I mean.. it's Simon Sinek. His curiousity for conversation is almost addicting.
