In This Article:

Podcasts are so great in that you can listen to them anywhere and learn so much from them. The only problem is there are so many shows out there I have a really hard time deciding which ones to start listening to. Hopefully my list of essential podcasts to stay informed helps you find one you love!

The Daily

static01.nyt.com

If you're looking for coverage on the latest news stories, this is the show for you. This New York Times show provides you with information on big events happening in the world every weekday.

Duolingo Language Podcast

podcast.duolingo.com

If you're trying to learn French or Spanish, Duolingo offers a podcast in both of those languages. This isn't your typical language learning podcast though. This one actually real stories told in that target language. If you're looking to improve your foreign language skills, I would definitely check this show out.

TED Talks Daily

pi.tedcdn.com

We've all seen TED Talks. These short episodes let you hear from experts about so many different things.

Stuff You Should Know

i.iheart.com

I love this show because I've learned so many random things from it and have the answers to questions I never would've thought about. The things you'll learn from this show also surprisingly make good conversation starters.

NPR News Now

media.npr.org

This podcast is great if you don't have a lot of time but want to hear about what's going on in the world. A few episodes are released throughout the day and they're all only about 5 minutes long.

Dissect

dissectpodcast.com

This show takes an in-depth look at your favorite songs and albums. Enough said.

Radiolab

media.wnyc.org

This show explains such a wide range of concepts. I love how this show will take one concept and then look at in so many different ways. If you're looking for a podcast where you can hear stories and learn something totally new this is definitely a show you should check out.

Teenager Therapy

teenagertherapy.carrd.co

This show is totally relatable. A group of friends just talk about their everyday struggles as teenagers.

Hidden Brain

media.npr.org

Here's another podcast that will make you consider things you probably never have before. This show tells stories and shares information about the behaviors we experience as humans.

Crime Junkie

megaphone.imgix.net

This one is for all of my fellow crime show obsessed listeners.

I hope these suggestions help you find a podcast you really love so that you can become a more informed (and entertaineed) person.

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.
