1. Pod Save America

With the political climate in a frenzy, there are many news outlets to stay informed on the latest stories but, what about podcasts? Pod Save America launched in January and made it to the top of the iTunes charts, currently sitting at number two.  It was started by three guys who worked in the White House; John Favreau, who was President Obama’s head speechwriter, John Lovett, who worked under Hillary Clinton, as well as Tommy Vietor, who served as President Obama’s National Security Spokesman. As the topics get serious when interviewing various members of the former Obama administration, to friends of the pod, Lovett is able to break the ice and bring humor to the current political climate. This is not a dummies guide to politics but, it will help inform you about what is going on in the White House and how to get active in your local community!

 

2. Psychobabble with Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl 

With over 8 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, Tyler Oakley branched out into the podcast world with his best friend Korey Kuhl to talk about pretty much everything. From animals, to celebrity gossip, to throwing shade, the half hour show is a candid talk between two best friends. In the words of Tyler Oakley, ‘it’s not just crazy talk, it’s Psychobabble!”

 

3.  The GaryVee Audio Experience

Hey guys, my name is Cas. I am a Senior at Pace Univeristy on the NYC campus. I am currently working on a dual degree in Communications and Fine Arts. I've been working with some friends of mine to start up our own creative platform called FUNKNVIBE. It's basically a way for artists, musicians, film makers and any creative minds to collaborate and create. When I'm not volunteering or with my FNV family I'm reading, dancing or working on my latest art piece. I hope to own and design my own publication showcasing the culture around me. I have a personal blog as well as my Her Campus page. I recently started up a blog with FunknVibe so definitely check it out!  I started out as the secretary at for HCPace but moved my way to VP and CC to now President. I love being able to give students on my campus a voice and connect new students to some type of a community. Her Campus has allowed me to organize myself better and find out what goes into running an organization. It's been an absolute joy and I hope for my last year we have one of the best!
