The Top 5 Podcasts I Can't Stop Listening to Right Now

by - April 16, 2018


Podcasts are my go-to when working (both blogging and schoolwork), going to sleep and whilst doing the everyday tasks around the house. Therefore, I have so many stored up in my library, ready for each occasion. My taste in podcasts varies from humorous entertaining episodes, serious girl chats ( I think these might be my favourite) and deep topics of conversation. 
So, today I put together a roundup of my favourites in two parts (part 1 features those with two hosts and part 2 those with one!)

Table Manners with Jessie Ware

Jessie Ware, a British singer-songwriter hosts a podcast alongside her chef extraordinaire mum Lennie, in which she invites celebrity guests (ranging from fellow musicians, political figures and food critics), to basically overshare for an hour. Needn't I say less? Lennie is absolutely hilarious, with the dynamic between the two equally as stomach-wrenching, with so many laugh out loud moments. This podcast happens over dinner (as the name suggests) cooked by Lennie, and it always sounds so delicious. Tip -don't listen to it when you're hungry.


Crash on my Couch

A podcast from the YouTuber couple Arden Rose and Will Derbyshire, who are some of my go-to raw people on YouTube. I always love the podcasts which feature YouTubers or bloggers because I feel as though I can connect better with them - it must mean something if I can sing their theme song off by heart! What I love most about their podcast is the fact that they include different segments of which my favourites include the 'weekly idiot' and conspiracy theories (I'm a sucker for those). Within the podcast they also interact with their followers - giving them 'gold stars' if their question comes into conversation. This is an easy to listen to podcast - one that doesn't need a lot of attention, and one that you'll get hooked to instantly.


Ladies Who Lunch

Another YouTuber podcast, involving Cat Valdes and Ingrid Nilson, inviting you to join them at their table to discuss thought-provoking and often taboo topics. This is a podcast that I 100% always go back to, and re-listen to my favourite episodes, as the advice coming from two perspectives (they often do clash in views which is interesting to see how two close friends deal with situations differently) is so valuable in everyday life. The perfect one to listen to when you're craving that girlfriend advice. 





Girl Boss with Sophia Amoruso

The name behind 'Nasty Gal' and the New York bestseller and now hit Netflix show 'Girl Boss', Sophia Amoruso hosts her own podcast interviewing boundary-pushing women, who have marked their name in the industry. You should expect raw conversations and honest advice from some of the most famous women (Sarah Jessica Parker, Miranda Kerr and the founder of DryBar just to name a few), which makes this podcast not only inspiring but also one to laugh along with. On the more serious side, this podcast is informative, finding out about how they got to where they are - utterly inspiring for those #girlbosses.

Don't Blame Me!

Yet, again another YouTuber podcast, but they are so good, I can't help myself! This time hosted by Meghan Rienks, acting as an agony aunt for her listeners who call in with their problems regarding relationships, body image and friendships. The aspect of 'calling in' is my favourite - getting to actually hear a real person's problem makes everything seem 10x more real. Yet, Meghan doesn't take herself too seriously, with the advice given as if it were between two girlfriends. Some episodes will feature guests, allowing another perspective and advice to be given, which helps change the dynamic and break up the routine every so often.





This concludes the round-up of my (current) favourite podcasts, and I'm sure you'll all be hooked sooner or later! If you haven't delved into the world of podcasts, I highly recommend you to start right now - the list above will keep you entertained for hours - and coming back for more! There's more where this came from - I've got so many more podcasts stashed away, so maybe that calls for a part 2?


What are your favourite podcasts?

Would you want to see a part 2? Or my favourite specific episodes?

  4. Podcasts aren’t something I’ve ever really been into but I recently listened to one from Ctrl Alt Delete with Stacey Dooley (who I LOVE) and really enjoyed it. It was so relaxing to just chill in bed & do nothing but listen to it! So I’ll definitely be listening to more & I might check some of these out!

  6. Honestly podcast can be a big burst of inspo once you listen to the right ones. Hearing people passionately discuss a topic you can relate to and make you feel as though you're there is awesome. I LOVE Jessie Ware so I was very pleased to discover she had a podcast and I'm into Ladies Who Lunch! Thanks for providing other awesome selections, def bookmarking and pinning this! :)
