4 Podcasts For The College Girl Who Doesn't Listen To Podcasts

I know, I know, must young people hear the word "podcast" and think B-O-R-I-N-G. However, I promise they aren't all that boring! If you value and enjoy conversation or storytelling, then podcasts might be something you actually enjoy.

1. Scrubbing In With Becca Tilley and Tanya Rad

Scrubbing In was the first podcast I ever listened to. You may know Becca Tilley from her successful swimsuit line or her social media personality, or maybe even her two stints on the Bachelor. When iHeartRadio decided to pair up Becca with her BFF radio personality Tanya Rad, bachelor nation and KIIS FM listeners tuned in form all over to hear their favs.

Now listeners who previously knew neither of the girls are stumbling upon this People Choice Award winning podcast and relating to so much of the content. Tanya's bubbly, optimistic, modern woman way of life perfectly compliments Becca's Mcdonald's loving, homebody, personality and the two literally are a match made in heaven. They talk about navigating life in all aspects including, dating, professional opportunities and work, current trends, and of course Grey's Anatomy (hence the Scrubbing In title).

They have weekly guests that they chat with for part of the podcast, and then often transition into fun games, answering listener emails to give advice, and even sometimes do segments like "Ask a Guy" where listeners send in questions for men, and they either call guys or ask their male guests in person. It's the perfect podcast for young women everywhere.

2. Armchair Experts

One of my personal favorites and the iHeartRadio Award for Breakout Podcast, Armchair Experts is a podcast you don't want to sleep on, and it will never put you to sleep. Hosted by Dax Shepard and his co-host Monica Padman, the pod dives deep into the lives of the weekly guests, talking about anything from failures, successes, careers, addiction, sexuality, parenting, and really, anything under the sun! That's the beauty of it.

Every Monday, the podcast airs a new episode with a new guest, and it currently has over 80 episodes, including their special Wednesday releases in the "Experts on Expert" category where they bring in just that, experts from all fields. Their website describes the pod as "celebrating the messiness of being human", which is a perfect representation of the show.

If you enjoy listening to honest, open, vulnerable, and genuine conversations, then this is the podcast for you. You will never get tired of hearing one of your favorite stars or experts as a guest, and really feeling as if you're in the attic where they record with Dax and Monica, becoming a legit armchair expert.

3. Serial 

If you're not a big conversationalist, but one mystery and crime, check out Serial. It's a classic murder mystery pod where the host, Sarah Koenig, uncovers details of controversial cases, particularly the one involving Adnan Sayed. Koenig in many ways turns herself into a detective and pours her heart and solve into solving the case of whether Adnan is guilty or not.

Every episode will leave you wanting more, and you can decide for yourself if the suspected individuals are guilty or not.

4. Directionally Challenged

If you love Vampire Diaries, you may know Candice King and Kayla Ewell, who play Caroline and Vicki in the television show and are real-life BFF's. The pod is described on their website as "A Podcast About Realigning Your Internal Compass".

The 30 something women discuss their personal struggles and findings within marriage, building a family, acting, being a woman in today's society, and many other relatable subject topics. The two are honest and vulnerable about their normal and validated feelings, which is refreshing coming from two young, successful women in the entertainment industry.

Be sure to give them a listen if you're just looking to feel a bit guided in this crazy life journey.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
