Long car ride and no new music to listen to? I know we have all been there. With the amount of free time we’ve all had on our hands due to the pandemic, there’s no better time than now to dive headfirst into a new podcast. Podcasts vary in length and can cover such a wide range of topics. From relationship advice, to gossip about pop culture, to informative discussions that will open your mind to new ways of thinking — I’ve got you covered. I am pretty new to the world of podcasts, so I must admit I’m no guru. However, I did the research and put in the work, so you don’t have to. With the help and input from my friends, here are the podcasts you should be listening to right now.
