My Favorite Murder by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark
Hear us out with this one, we know the title is...interesting. With 19 million listeners a month, this true crime comedy podcast has been dominating the #1 spot on the iTunes comedy chart (yes, comedy!). These two girl bosses discuss two true crime cases per episode, while perfectly weaving in witty humor and sarcasm that helps lighten up the discussion for such a dark topic. Take it from Hardstark herself: “I think humor is a lot of people’s way to take away the fear and anxiety of a thing that scares the s*it out of you.”

Guys We F*cked by Krystyna Hutchinson and Corinne Fisher
Okay, another interesting title. This is self-proclaimed, as stated in their description in all caps as the, “THE ANTI-SLUT SHAMING PODCAST”! The goal of this podcast is to make the world a more sex-positive place, and make us laugh while doing so. Each week, they interview someone one of the girls has slept with, or talk about sexually empowering thoughts and ideas. Hilariously calling out the good, the bad, and the ugly, Hutchinson and Fisher totally nailed making their listeners laugh out loud about their experiences.

Girlboss Radio with Sophia Amorusa
We’ve all shopped at or at least heard of Nasty Gal: this podcast is hosted by Sophia Amorusa, the founder of Nasty Gal and author of the book #Girlboss (FYI it got turned into a Netflix show!).

Some featured co-hosts have been Emily Weiss, founder and CEO of Glossier, journalist Katie Couric, and celebrity hair stylist (I’m looking at you, Kardashians) and founder of Ouai, Jen Atkin. This podcast gives you tips for being your own girl boss, and just a ton of inspiration overall!

Gals on the Go by Danielle Carolan and Brooke Miccio
Two girls who go to University of Georgia talk through their realistic experiences in college, with topics ranging from time management, their summer internships, dating in college, and so much more. This podcast is relatively new, only starting up this past summer, but by far one of the most relatable we’ve listened to.

Oprah’s SuperSoul Conversations by Oprah
A few of the reviews for this podcast are: “The only podcast you’ll ever need”, “life changing”, and “free happiness”.

This podcast is super deep and thoughtful, exploring the way we connect with the world and our mental beings-we always feel more educated and in tune with ourselves after listening.

Meditation Minis with Chel Hamilton!
In college, it’s so easy to feel overwhelmed and stressed a majority of the time. It’s super important to take time for yourself and your mental well being, and this podcast is one of the best for that. Each episode is under 15 minutes, so it’s perfect for when you’re about to go to sleep (so you don’t drift off and miss half the podcast)! Hamilton guides you through short meditations to calm anxiety, increase your confidence, overcome negative thinking, and more.
