Podcasts are the new big thing everyone is raving about. Podcasts have a multitude of genres, just like music, that you can choose from. If you have an iPhone, you already have the Podcast app without even having to download it.

If you have Spotify, you have a podcast option to listen to on that app. So if you aren't one of the millions of people listening to a podcast already, you probably already have an app for it.

Podcasts are similar to music in the way of what you might want to hear. Personally, my favorite podcasts to listen to are murder podcasts.

However, there are numerous genres ranging from sports to politics to culture. There is a podcast for everyone. Whether you're walking to class or making the long commute home on the weekend, podcasts are an easy way to entertain yourself.

Being an avid podcast listener and researcher, I have found in my opinion some of the best podcasts out there.Some podcasts that have not only made the top 2018 Podcast list but are just absolutely phenomenal are:

1. My Favorite Murder, hosted by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark, is a murder mystery podcast in which they discuss hometown murders, cold cases, and famous murderers with their cat Elvis and they encourage you to "Stay sexy and don't get murdered"

2.Serial, hosted by Sarah Koenig, is a podcast of a cold case on high school senior Hae Min Lee's murder that she spends a year uncovering.

3.Death, Sex & Money, hosted by Anna Sale, is a podcast about the trio of death, sex, and money and people are interviewed each podcast and they discuss their personal experience with at least one of the issues.

4.Pod Save America, hosted by Jon Favreau, Dan Pfeiffer, Jon Lovett, Tommy Vietor, is an American progressive political podcast produced and distributed by Crooked Media.

5. Lore, hosted by Aaron Mahnke, is an award-winning podcast on non-fiction scary stories that show the dark side of human nature.

6. Still Processing, hosted by Jenna Wortham and Wesley Morris, is a New York Times culture podcast.

7. Stuff You Should Know, hosted by Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant, is self-explanatory and helps with easy dinner conversation starters.

8. WTF, hosted by Marc Maron, is a podcast where a comedian tries to uncover deep philosophical questions.

9. Reply All, hosted by PJ Vogt and Alex Goldman, is a podcast focused on how to survive modern life.

10. Invisibilia, hosted by Lulu Miller, is all about the invisible forces that shape human behavior.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
