I finally brought my car with me to school this year, after two years of working my schedule around when Preston and my friends were able to give me rides. This means I have been in the car just a little bit more than past school years, and I have been using this time to listen to podcasts. I ask all my friends if they listen to podcasts because I just can’t get over how valuable they can be. I listen to all types- mystery, entertainment, and motivational. If you have been thinking about making the jump into podcasts, DO IT!! You will not regret it!
My favorite way to listen to Podcasts: I only use Spotify since I already have an account, but Preston uses Overcast. Surprisingly there are no ads on Spotify when you listen to podcasts, and you can download them to your phone!
Mystery:
Serial: This is the first podcast I listened to, and it is definitely one of the most popular ones out there. I listened to it with Preston, so it is definitely boyfriend approved! We finished it in less than a week, and we would look for excuses to get in the car so we could listen together!
Up and Vanished: We are listening to this one right now. It’s an unsolved mystery case that happened in Georgia a while ago. It is very suspenseful, and I can’t wait to finish it.
As soon as we are done with Up and Vanished we are going to start Limetown, a fictional story about a mysterious town in Tennessee. I will update this post when I see if we like it!
Inspirational
Thick and Thin: I have followed Katy Bellotte on instagram and her youtube channel for years, and when she came out with a podcast I was so excited! She has a tell all style of chit chat on her blog that I love. She lives in NYC, so hearing details about her life is pretty fascinating!
The influencer podcast: I recently started listening to this, and it’s a great way to get more tips about blogging and the instagram life. Plus the woman who does it is a UTK grad, which I love!
How I Built This with Guy Raz– If you’re interested in the workings of businesses or just want to know how your favorite companies started, I highly suggest this one! It details the start up of a ton of huge companies! Patagonia, Clif bars, Drybar, Kendra Scott, Kate Spade, and more!!
Entertainment
Swiftish: This podcast is pretty specific to Taylor Swift super fans, if you aren’t super into Taylor you might not like this, haha! The podcast is full of alll the taylor info!
Armchair expert: This is the podcast Dax Sheppard does with different celebrities every week. I don’t listen to every episode, but I always listen to ones with interesting celebs like Lauren Graham and Mila Kunis!
That’s it for my current podcast obsessions! If you have been thinking about starting the podcast life- do it!! I have looked forward to driving ever since starting,
