Earlier this year I shared a roundup of podcasts that were keeping me company, and since then, I’ve added a few new ones to my rotation. They’re different in tone and topic — from legal analysis to NFL commentary — but each one offers something unique that keeps me coming back. 

Two Angry Men

Hosted by Harvey Levin (yes, the founder of TMZ) and Mark Geragos (a well-known defense attorney), this podcast is equal parts legal analysis and current events. These two aren’t afraid to disagree, push each other or call out what they see as shallow reporting in mainstream media. What I love is that they unpack complex legal issues in ways that feel clear and relevant. You don’t have to be a lawyer to walk away smarter about the cases shaping our headlines.

Good Hang 

Amy Poehler has been making us laugh for years — from Saturday Night Live to Parks and Rec — and now she’s behind the mic with Good Hang. The show feels like exactly what the title promises: hanging out with a friend who just happens to be one of the funniest, warmest voices in comedy. She interviews people she admires, swaps stories and makes you feel like you’re sitting at the table with her. This is my go-to when I need a little levity.

Calm Down with Erin and Charissa 

Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson are two powerhouse sports journalists who’ve spent years covering the NFL every week during the football season. In Calm Down they let listeners in on the conversations you wish you could hear off-camera. They talk about football, of course, but also career wins and struggles, life lessons and plenty of personal stories. What makes this one special is their dynamic – they’re funny, candid and refreshingly real about what it means to succeed as women in a male-dominated industry.

Mormons in Media

Hosted by Rebbie Brassfield, Mormons in Media explores how the LDS church and its members are portrayed in film, television and news. This one is eye-opening and nuanced, looking at the gap between media portrayals and lived experiences. It’s a fascinating reminder of how representation shapes perception, and why storytelling matters so much in understanding communities and culture.

The Kittle Things

If you know me, you know I’m a huge San Francisco 49ers fan and my favorite player is the legendary Mr. George Kittle. Alongside his wife Claire, George is now co-hosting The Kittle Things. Their tagline says it all: “the little things that make life big.” Yes, there’s plenty of football talk, but they also dive into relationships, inspiration, pop culture and the dynamics of building a life together. Their chemistry is infectious — part banter, part inspiration — and it’s a fun reminder that even superstar athletes are figuring out partnership and purpose just like the rest of us.

Let me know what you’re listening to!
