With celebrity interview podcasts appearing almost weekly as if they were assembled in a Ford plant, it is so refreshing to listen to an interview podcast where a non-celebrity interviews people who are not only not celebrities, but also are his friends. The Story of My Friends is a weekly interview podcast - real people telling real stories, no scripts, no gimmicks. It's fully independent,…
There is a disquieting trend in the U.S. toward a racial purity ethic and a disdain for other cultures. In the last two years, diversity has become a dirty word and those screaming about cancel culture four years ago and are now employing the same suppression tactics they railed about with such vigor and unfocused anger. That's why it is so important that podcasts such as Auntie Please break onto…
This show boasts that it breaks down complex scientific topics into accessible, engaging conversations. Fortunately for its audience, the show lives up to the hype. It's a strange time in the U.S., where everyone is a scientific expert; each with their pet conspiracy theory, from vaccines to chem trails and the flat earth to kid's drinks that turn them gay (Alex Jones). This Podcast Will Kill You…
Large podcast networks are all about celebrity shows for maximum visibility. It takes a unique and socially responsible podcast network to welcome a new podcast to its roster that promotes social activism, well-being, and a willingness to help others. The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast -- the award- winning, chart-topping podcast from neurodivergent author and coach Kate Moryoussef -- has…
We are all fascinated by the unknown. It can be strange, unpredictable, and eye-opening. That's why I love Skyline Drive, which is an acclaimed narrative documentary podcast hosted by Mangesh Hattikudur. The show explores unconventional and fascinating corners of modern life, starting with a deep dive into astrology and skepticism in its first season, followed by Skyline Drive: How to Live…
The Everything They Don't Tell You podcast (formerly known as the Blue Is The New White podcast) is a candid business and personal development show hosted by entrepreneur and author Josh Zolin. The podcast skips surface-level tips to explore the raw mental, emotional, and human challenges behind scaling a business and leading a team. Rather than focusing purely on strategy, it tackles internal…
It's unfortunate that we typically interact with lawyers as we drive on highways and see their billboards marketing their services in case you were in an accident. Not all lawyers can be Harvey Spector from Suits . Luckily for fans of the law, pop culture, and entertainment, there's The Celebrity Docket podcast. Hosted by Forbes-Featured Attorney Jehan “J” Carter and Newly Licensed Attorney &…
One of the elements missing from our society is curiosity. In the last decade, people suddenly know everything about how vaccines harm people. Or why the moon landing was faked. If facts don't fit their worldview, they just change them. Why be curious when you can make up your own facts with impunity? I am eternally grateful that a podcast like Outside/In exists. The show is a public radio podcast…
Who is to say how much sex a generation should have? In the 60s, the older generation claimed that their kids were obsessed with sex. Recently, in The New York Times and other publications reported that data from large national studies like the General Social Survey show that Gen Z is having less sex and delaying sexual milestones longer than Millennials, Gen X, or Boomers did at the same age.…
Suzy Chase is o ne of those OG podcasters. She started The Groove Radio Podcast in early 2005 because she wasn’t hearing the soul, R&B, disco, and yacht rock that made me fall in love with music in the first place. It became the first mixtape podcast, and she was one of the very, very few female podcasters at the beginning. In 2025, marking the podcast's 20th anniversary, Suzy Chase released TGR…
