Podcasts are in their prime with an abundance of excellent content out there for your ears to enjoy. Although there are an insane amount of awesome podcasts out there, these are my three personal favorites that I listened to during 2018.
If you're in need of a new podcast or want to start to get into podcasts, these three are a great place to start:
1. "Armchair Expert" with Dax Shepard (and Monica Padman!)

Every episode provides enlightening life lessons, reflective insights, and lots of laughs. If you're into well-rounded conversations with high-quality individuals, you'll love this one!
2. "Death, Sex, and Money" with Anna Sale
There are some topics that everyone experiences that don't often get discussed just because they're not "polite."

The team's ability to bring out the human side of big questions and tough topics makes this podcast unique and captivating. From sex workers to student loans, DSM covers it all.
