Getting your steps in feels way less daunting with the right podcast in your ears.
Need some recs? We got you covered, whether you’re looking for true crime, a chaotic celeb tell-all, wellness secrets, or niche topics for your next dinner party conversation.
Below, the Poosh Team shares the podcasts we think are worth bringing along on your walks.
1. Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlain
Hosted by Emma Chamberlain
This is your emotional support podcast. Emma’s stream-of-consciousness episodes feel like a bestie voice note. From body image and anxiety to life as a cat mom and her most embarrassing moments, no topic is too small or too random. And that’s what makes it genuine, funny, and (sometimes painfully) relatable.
2. Morbid
Hosted by Alaina Urquhart and Ash Kelley
An autopsy technician and a hairstylist cover true crime and creepy history with care, empathy, and just enough banter to keep the darkness digestible. It’s spooky-season energy, year round.
3. The Psychology of Your 20s
Hosted by Jemma Sbeg
POV: You thought you’d be off your parents’ phone plan by now. This podcast dives into the chaos of your 20s with science, humor, and empathy. Host Jemma unpacks the growing pains of early adulthood, from imposter syndrome to friendship breakups.
4. 99% Invisible
Hosted by Roman Mars
This podcast gives you a map to often-overlooked design and architecture elements that have fascinating stories to tell. It takes you deep into the hidden world of design that quietly shapes our lives, cities, and even identities. Warning: You’ll never look at a manhole cover the same way again.
5. Unexplainable
Hosted by Noam Hassenfeld, Julia Longoria, Byrd Pinkerton, and Meradith Hoddinott
“Welcome to your next hyperfixation” could be the tagline for every episode of this show. It dives into scientific mysteries both big (what the universe is made of, the moon’s influence on our biology) and small (plants that can see, why humans have butts). The team embraces questions without neat conclusions, reminding us that the answer isn’t always the most interesting part of the story.
6. The Peter Attia Drive
Hosted by Dr. Peter Attia
Get ready for a deep dive into longevity, nutrition, exercise, and cognitive health. Rooted in cutting-edge science, the topics can sound technical at first, but Dr. Attia breaks them down in a way that’s accessible, fascinating, and surprisingly motivating.
7. Life Kit
Hosted by Marielle Segarra
NPR’s Life Kit offers practical, non-preachy advice on everything from saving money to getting better sleep. Basically, it’s the manual we all wish came with adulthood.
