During my time in college, I started listening to podcasts. When I had some downtime, I would listen to what other people had to say about different topics. Some shows are entertaining, while others are educational. Today, I’m going to talk about five entertaining podcasts that I think general audiences in their early 20’s would enjoy.
1. Unsolicited Advice with Ashley and Taryne
This podcast was one of the first shows I listened to that got me hooked into the podcast world. This is such a unique podcast because this duo reads stories people send in and then gives their ~unsolicited~ advice. Although they are not professionals, they have a lot of wisdom and empowerment behind their advice. They take on some serious issues such as things related to mental illnesses, body image, and therapy. In contrast, they also share some real-life stories/situations in a segment called, “Taryne It Up.” If you need a good laugh while also listening to some pretty solid advice, check out Ashley and Taryne right here!
2. Life with Amy & Jordan
The hosts of this next podcast are a husband and wife duo (and one of my favorite photographers) named Amy and Jordan. Taking a break from their usual photography content, Amy and Jordan talk about things regarding day-to-day adulting life. From topics such as finances, parenting, and multitasking, you’re sure to learn something new. Click to listen to Amy and Jordan here.
3. Checking In with Michelle Williams
Ladies and gentlemen, the ICONIC Michelle Williams! For this next podcast, Michelle Williams dives into mental health and check-ins with herself and with other guests. She keeps it real with her guests and talks about moments in life and how important it is to check-in with yourself. Some guests she has brought on her podcast include Kelly Rowland, Kirk Franklin, Amber Riley, and Jennifer Hudson. Make sure to check-in to this podcast here.
4. Happy & Healthy with Jeanine Amapola
Next up, here’s another influencer on this list of podcasts! Jeanine promotes a happier and healthier lifestyle and discusses things from health and fitness to faith and dating. It’s not easy having lots of people tune into your life on social media, but she still shows a vulnerable side to her as she discusses some topics. Be sure to check her out here.
5. Enjoi-ing Life
Last but not least, I am super excited to talk about this show! This one’s a special one because it’s created by my friend, Joiya! She has such a calming aura to her and you can definitely sense that through this podcast. She talks about things that other 20-something-year-olds are going through. Whether it’s about living through a pandemic as a college student or learning important lessons after a breakup, she will make you feel validated, seen, and heard. Take some time to listen to Joiya and her podcast here.
