First off, if you never heard of this show, the name may seem a little off. Don’t worry, it doesn’t disappoint. In their podcast, Alexandra Cooper and Sofia Franklyn discuss an interesting and unique view of the world. The two dive into the lifestyle of New Yorkers in their 20s.

2) Crime Junkie

Crime junkie Ashley Flowers fulfills all your CSI cravings with her weekly podcast. Every Monday, a new crime finds itself in Flowers’ next story. She keeps you full of suspense, but also intrigued by details of the crime scene. One of her personal favorite skin-crawling cases involves the serial killer Israel Keyes. “Not only were the details of his crimes completely shocking but the fact that he operated across such large distances and went completely undetected is what really makes my skin crawl,” said Flowers. “It reminds me that there are types of evil out there in the world who don’t fit into a box and there are probably more killers like Keyes out there that may go undetected for a long time because we don’t even know we should be looking for them.” Cliff hangers and unsolved mysteries compare to an incomplete sentence. Flowers’ podcast leaves you itching for more.

Flowers has been obsessed with solving crimes since a young age and now she is living her dream. “My mother was a crime junkie and some of my earliest memories are of watching Matlock or Perry Mason with her. As I got a little older and realized those kinds of stories don’t just happen on TV, that real life is filled with mystery, I became enthralled with the topic,” said Flowers. This crime junkie has more reliability than you think. Flowers gained experience with the board of directors for Crime Stoppers, so she knows what she is talking about.

3) How to Do Everything

5) Tara Brach

Time to zen it out. Meditation teacher Tara Brach leads listeners through a weekly guided meditation that blends Western psychology with Eastern spiritual practices. Her podcast brings awareness back to the focus of life and the importance of mindfulness. The primary goal of relieving emotional suffering results from self-compassion. In Brach’s book called “Radical Compassion,” she explains the term RAIN meditation (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nature). “When you are stuck within fear, anger, shame or self-judgment you can apply the four steps and it helps you from being stuck in that emotion to a place of more confidence, balance and peace,” Brach explains.

One of her patients recently discovered the power of this meditation. Her patient felt fearful of the coronavirus. Instead of running from it, she faced it. “She recognized the fear, she whispered it in her mind and allowed it to be there. She investigated to find where it was in her body by putting her hand on her heart. She nurtured herself by sending a message. She said to the fear, ‘Thank you for trying to protect me and I am okay right now,” Brach said. We all hide fear deep within ourselves. Whether we deal with school stressors, relationship fiascos or family problems, we tend to fear negative outcomes. RAIN meditation provides a place of security. Sometimes exams sneak up on us and we need a way to escape. We might end up self-judging and hating on our own bodies. Brach calls this “the trans of unworthiness.” “We weren’t going to create the world we believed in by coming from all the anger and hatred,” said Brach. We cannot let it get the best of us. For me, ice cream always helps, but a better alternative, discovering your Zen.

6) Goal Digger

Welcome to a podcast with all the professional answers to life. It can get very confusing as a college student if you do not have a how-to, step-by-step checklist. Jenna Kutcher supplies you with all the who, what, where and why’s you can think of. “The live-workshop style business podcast helps thousands redefine success and chase bolder dreams. You can train from the experts on how to dig in, do the work and tackle your biggest goals along the way,” Kutcher said. “But really, I want it to be a show that when you tune in you feel like you’re learning from your virtual business coach.

Goal Digger brings you productivity tips, social media strategies, business hacks and inspirational stories that guide you toward your dream. “It’s inspirational for planning and a nice way to change it up,” University of Florida junior Sarah Pickett said.

Mother: “How did your school day go today?”

You: “Good.”

Hm…does this count as the cold, honest truth? Probably not. Nora McInerny emphasizes the sad and uncomfortable moments in life because a picture-perfect world doesn’t exist. In one of her podcasts she talks about giving up something that could change your life for the better. The problem is even though this habit or object ruins us we refuse to give it up. Throughout the podcast McInerny explains how to use the power of motivation. She makes you believe that you don’t stand alone. Life presents a basket full of unexpected events that make for great stories. Nora makes sure you know that not everyone’s life is a sky covered in covered in rainbows.

BONUS: Amanda Nachman’s “Find Your Passion Career”

A podcast that guides you towards your passion career. Are you lost and confused about your future? You can count on Amanda Nachman as a reliable source. One of my favorite episodes of Nachman’s podcast is an interview with Eva Magdalenski where the two talk about Magdalenski’s game-changing career as a DJ. Magdalenski explains her drive and how she got to where she stands today.

Her career arose from desire and pursuing what she wanted. Magdalenski loved watching comedy shows as a child and began interning at Comedy Works Entertainment. From there she interacted with celebrities by bringing them to their press releases. How did she come across this opportunity? Her mom. Yeah, we hate to admit that moms know everything. Throughout this interview, I learned to maintain a goal of something I desire for myself. If you have a dream, just jump into it. Sure, there will be failures, but you will grow from them. How often do you ask yourself what you want for your future? Nachman digs for answers by speaking with professionals in various career paths to learn from the best.
