Must-Listen Podcasts To Match Your Vibe
No matter what your taste or style, there is a podcast out there for you.
March 2017 has been coined as "Trypod Month," where podcast fans are encouraged to introduce their favorite podcasts, and just the idea of podcasts in general, to friends and family. Earlier in the month I recommended some of my fave true crime podcasts and since I got such a great response, I thought I'd close out the month with some more recommendations. There really is a podcast out there for everyone, so get listening!
For the Millennial Woman
Ladies Who Lunch
Ladies Who Lunch
Ladies Who Lunch, hosted by Youtube stars Ingrid Nilsen and Cat Valdes, is perfect for any twenty-something year old woman who likes a good chat with girlfriends about real issues. Nilsen's and Valdes' fun and laid back personalities make sensitive topics like sex, mental health, feminism and relationships relatable and easy to swallow for the everyday, modern woman.
For the Artsy Hipster
99% Invisible
99% Invisible
If you love art, design and innovation, this is the podcast for you. 99% Invisible, hosted by Roman Mars, takes everyday things and makes them fascinating. Who would've thought that flags, barb wire and Wonder Bread had such rich and interesting origins and histories? This podcast offers episodes on all those things and much more.
For the Potterhead
Mugglecast
Mugglecast
There are a lot of Harry Potter podcasts out there, but MuggleCast is a classic being the very first Potter podcast, launching back in 2005. Though the Potter series has ended, the MuggleCast gang continue to release episodes regularly discussing the Potter theme parks, additional content released by J.K. Rowling and more.
For the Thinker
S-Town
S-Town
S-Town is an intriguing and gripping seven-part podcast about small-town life and humanity. Can't say too much about this one without spoiling, but the true story, accounted by Brian Reed, is fascinating and leaves you at the edge of your seat and asking many questions.

Top 5 True Crime Netflix Picks
With the success of true crime podcasts like Serial and Reddit forums dedicated to arm-chair detectives who discuss unsolved cases, people's fascination with crime and mystery seems to be at an all-time high. In response to this and the success of their 2015 original docu-series Making a Murderer, Netflix has been continuously adding awesome true crime content to their stream over the past year.

An Idea of All Time
My husband and I decided that we would plan the next 4 and half or so years of quality time. He listens to a podcast called the worst idea of all time, the hosts watch a decidedly bad movie every week for a year. Now I am aware that I do not have that kind of will power. So our version is a tad more mild than that. We will be choosing a mediocre movie and to make it more interesting we will be choosing movies with numbers in the title. We are starting with Shang Chi: Legend of the 10 Rings. And we will be watching for as many months as there are numbers. We are almost done with our first month so here is a quick recap of what we have commented on as well links to the episode if you are interested.

If only she was being melodramatic...
