Okay, I’ll admit it. I am usually about 6 months – 1 year behind the trends. I’m that person who gets so excited to score a trendy item on clearance only to realize that it was trendy last year and nobody is wearing that particular item anymore. I see you gladiator sandals! Like most things in my life, I discovered podcasts entirely too late, but I am currently making up for lost time. I am not a music person so podcasts have become my companion as I clean, walk, drive, and shower (maybe TMI?). In case you’ve ever wondered what is causing such a pep in my step as I swiffer the floors and disinfect the counter tops, below is a list of my favorite podcasts: the good, the great, and the embarrassing.
Favorite “Faith Space” Podcast: That Sounds Fun by Annie F. Downs
- Annie makes you feel like a friend and is a unique combination of encouragement mixed with humor, mixed with Jesus
Favorite Comedy Podcast: Don’t Make Me Come Back There by Dustin Nickerson
- I saw Dustin Nickerson perform his stand-up set live and he was hilarious. His podcast is not necessarily a laugh-a-minute, but he does interview other comics and the conversation usually results in laughter.
Favorite The Office-themed Podcast: Office Ladies by Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey
- For anyone who is a fan of The Office. No need to say more.
Favorite Guilty Pleasure Podcast: Chrisley Confessions by Todd and Julie Chrisley
- It has all of the drama! Mainly, I listen to this podcast because I watch their show, “Chrisley Knows Best”.
Favorite Wide Variety Podcast: For The Love by Jen Hatmaker
- Admittedly, I have not listened to many of her podcasts, but she has been podcasting for a long time so there is a long list of episodes for listening. She has interviewed some LEGENDS!
Friends, I know this is a tough season. Another week, another day of staying in our homes. I saw a post on some form of social media that suggested we re-frame our brains by calling it “being safe in our homes” vs “being stuck in our homes.” Changing that one word makes such a difference in my attitude towards being self-quarantined. However, your feelings are your feelings and you are allowed to grieve this season and all of the people and events you are missing. We will get through this.

Ooooo! Thank you for the recommendations! Stuff You Should Know looks particularly interesting to me. I will check some of these out.
I’ve listened to quite a few “Stuff You Should Know” podcasts.
Loved all your blogs, Sarah ~ they left me wanting for more, right now! Keep posting and I’ll keep reading. Great suggestions, all around. Joe had some good podcast recommendations as well. Congratulations on your success! ❤️
Thank you, AT! We miss you!
I forgot to mention that Brandon McMillan’s podcast is good. He’s the dog trainer who has the show, Lucky Dog.
