Whether it is a long car ride, folding laundry, or going for a run, podcasts will always have a place in our lives. They provide an escape and distraction from the real world, without having to fully pay attention. Showcasing amazing personalities, podcasts hosted by women all have that relatable and real feeling that will leave you wanting to hear more. If you are looking to get into the podcast world but do not know where to start, here are five female-run podcasts I recommend being your next listen. 

Morbid

For all the true crime junkies out there, this is the podcast for you. Covering true crime, creepy history, and all things spooky, hosts Alaina and Ash research a new case for each episode. The hilarious hosts will have you laughing out loud, questioning the paranormal, and lying awake thinking about what goes bump in the night.  

Girls and Co.

Featuring Paxton Elrod, Sam Taskey, and Taylor Jackson from Jomboy Media, this podcast examines the worlds of sports, culture, and media from a women’s perspective. Listen in to hear interviews from media professionals, women in sports, and a variety of Jomboy Media personalities. This show is relatable and funny with everyday stories about the lives of working women.  

Call Her Daddy

This list would not be complete without the most listened-to podcast by women on Spotify hosted by Alex Cooper. Recently hitting the five-year mark, this show has created laughs for many with a new interview each episode. Cooper cuts straight to the point and provides an entertaining listening experience for everyone. The best part: a giant backlog of episodes to binge on a long car ride or while cleaning your entire dorm room.  

Gilmore To Say: A Gilmore Girls Podcast

Hosted by Gilmore Girls TikTokers Tara and Haley, this recap and discussion podcast will bring you back to the magic of Stars Hollow. Effortlessly funny and witty, these episodes debate the writing, relationships, and characters of the comfort show that many love to hate. Settle into a comfy chair outside and drink a cup of coffee while laughing along with this fall aesthetic listen.
