It seems nowadays that everyone is jumping on the podcast bandwagon. The new-age talk radio has become a powerful platform for people to have the unfiltered conversations that are too long for Twitter and too controversial for Facebook. From celebrities chatting about their everyday woes, to the insanely popular storytelling in “Serial,” the vast range of categories gives everyone a chance to find their match.

1. "Psychobabble"

Hosted by YouTube sensation Tyler Oakley and his best friend Korey Kuhl, this hilarious weekly podcast dives into all things popculture. With no topic off limits, the two give listeners a glimpse into the conversations that happen behind the camera.

2. "Gilmore Guys"

For anyone obsessed with “Gilmore Girls,” this podcast is for you. In each episode, Kevin T. Porter and Demi Adejuyigbe sit down to gab about all the latest "Stars Hollow" drama. With friends, and sometimes even stars of the beloved show, the guys give a hilarious new perspective on this CW favorite.

3. "Theater People"

Patrick Hinds and Mike Jensen have worked their way into the hearts (ears?) of Broadway fans everywhere. Biweekly, the hosts sit down with all your favorite stars to discuss the ins and outs of the Great White Way.

4. "No One Knows Anything"

Straight from the minds at Buzzfeed, “No One Knows Anything” is a political podcast hosted by Evan McMorris-Santoro aimed to explain the confusion that can surround politics. With such a crazy election year, this one is great for anyone struggling to keep up with each new detail.

5. "Guys We F****d"

A personal favorite of mine, this anti slut-shaming podcast brings a whole new meaning to embracing your sexuality. Hosted by the comedy duo “Sorry About Last Night,” Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson discuss a slew of taboo topics with a new guest each week. Abortionists, rape survivors, sexual partners, porn stars, and fellow comics have all come on to help break the silence and start conversation.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
