7 More Podcasts You Should Be Listening To
Lady Clever

Earlier this year, I shared my seven favorite podcasts with the world. Since then, I've spent a lot of time listening to even more podcasts and scoping out a few new ones that I think are worth a listen! Here are seven more podcasts you should subscribe to (and binge-listen to) right now.

1. "Last Podcast on the Left"

This podcast is like "The X-Files" meets comedy. Ben Kissel, Marcus Parks, and Henry Zebrowski explore everything weird, creepy, and terrifying while cracking jokes left and right. They're the kind of people you wish you were friends with, but given their odd interests, you're also kind of glad you aren't.

2. "Code Switch"

NPR's "Code Switch" brings together brilliant journalists of color to discuss issues of race and identity. The topics are poignant and the episodes are perfectly bite-size. It's the perfect way to work a bit of thought-provoking dialogue into your morning commute or evening run.

3. "My Favorite Murder"

Karen Kilariff and Georgia Hardstark are seriously funny gals who vent their strange obsession with true crime for our entertainment. They also give great advice: "Stay sexy. Don't get murdered."

4. "Mouth Time with Reductress"

Our favorite women's media spoof site has its very own hilarious spoof podcasts. Beth Newell and Sarah Pappalardo star as Quinn and Divv: two girls who totally dig thinking about "Expensive Makeup Brushes That Do Like, One Thing" and "Power Suits That Say, 'Wife Material.'" Women and men alike will find this spoof-pod absolutely side-splitting.

5. "More Perfect"

Radiolab sets out to illuminate the mystery of the United States Supreme Court. Every episode details a Supreme Court case, the ins-and-outs and the legal implications of Supreme Court rulings. "More Perfect" appeals to people interested in law, people interested in social issues and generally curious minds alike.

6. "Lizard People"

Just for giggles, consider the most outrageous conspiracy theories known to man with Katelyn Hempstead and her weekly guests. By no means does this podcast convince listeners that politicians are actually lizard people (or the Zodiac killer), but it does give an interesting perspective on the mysteries of the world with a lot of laughs.

7. "Embedded"

Kelly McEvers hosts a series of deep investigations of popular news stories and trending headlines. In true NPR form, "Embedded" tells stories that are riveting, eloquent and masterfully edited. This podcast is a sure win for fans of "This American Life" or "On Being."

Go forth and subscribe and never be without audio entertainment again. Just remember to take out the headphones once in a while!

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.

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.

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.
