Get These In Your Ears: My Favorite Podcasts
The One Part Podcast is launching tomorrow!
I am so excited for you to hear. And a little nervous too. But more excited.
I’m a bit of a podcast addict. I listen to them when I’m getting ready in the morning, working out, while I’m working, and I’ve even started listening to them to fall asleep (trying to stop the Netflix binging at night). I love them. They make me feel relaxed. I love listening to people’s stories and the soothing (and sometimes not so soothing) voices that tell them.
But when I polled my friends about their podcast habits, most of them said they didn’t really listen to them. And then asked for a list of my favorites. Seeing that I am launching my own tomorrow, I wanted to share this list with you and give a shout to all the podcasts that have inspired my days, made me laugh, and taught me something new. Check out the list below and tell me your favorites! And after tomorrow, I’m hoping you can add One Part Podcast to that list too. Eeee. I just got nervous again.
My Favorite Podcasts:
WTF with Marc Maron (unexpected stories, heartfelt, and very Marc Maron (who I have a not-so-secret crush on))
Grantland (pop culture, sports, awesomeness created by my other crush, Bill Simmons)
The James Altucher Show (inspiring, honest, reality-checks with James Altucher)
How Did This Get Made (really funny and you kind of just have to listen to how great this is)
The Lively Show (uplifting stories with OPP pal, Jess Lively)
Go take a listen to one and let me know what you think!
Do you have a favorite podcast or one of your own?

July 9, 2014I LOVE podcasts so I was very excited to hear you were launching a podcast! Current favourites include After the Jump with Grace Bonney from Design Sponge, 99% Invisible, Freakonomics and of course the Lively Show. Can’t wait to listen to some of your suggestions!

July 9, 2014Thanks Amanda! 99% Invisible sounds so intriguing! And I always see the Freakonomics one on iTunes but haven’t clicked. Going to to now. Thanks!

July 9, 2014I too love podcasts and will find your podcast and listen to it too. Here are my fav’s
-The Moth – stories told live without notes
-This American Life – NPR show that has lots of great stories
-Stuff you missed in History Class- all kinds of history events that are much better than lectures when I took history (oh, so long ago)
-The Lively Show (of course)
– Running in the Center of the Universe- long distance running podcast
-The Kindle Chronicles – he talks about Kindles, the Fire, Amazon and a lot about e-books and how they are changing our reading habits.

July 11, 2014I love How Did This Get Made. They are truly bonkers & hilarious. If you’re a fan of WTF, you might also like You Made It Weird — the same sort of intimate interviews with a slightly goofier comedian as the host. As a podcast junkie myself, I’m excited to listen to your first ep!

July 11, 2014Rachel, thanks for adding a new one to my list!
