Podcasts I follow:

For The Wild

Founded and hosted by Ayana Young in 2014, For the Wild is a female-led collective that reveals what lies behind the consumer-conscious world.

This is one of my favourite podcasts. I love it so much that a while ago, I considered sending them an application for an internship. The podcast takes a decolonised approach to understanding the environment.

Today, Explained

Today, Explained is a Vox production podcast hosted by Sean Rameshwaram and Noel King. Started in 2019, the podcast already has more than 1,300 episodes.

Whenever I want updates about the happenings of the world, I tune into Today, Explained. Because of my hectic schedule, I often do not have the time to read the news. So, this podcast is where I get my daily news digest.

Unlocking Us

Started in March 2020, Unlocking Us is a podcast hosted by American professor and author Brené Brown. The podcast has a total of 148 episodes.

I like this podcast because it helps me understand myself. Living in a patriarchal world, I was always a little uncomfortable being vulnerable. This podcast taught me to accept my emotions and balance softness with my headstrong personality.

Ted Climate

Ted Climate is a podcast hosted by Den Kwartler which started in 2020. The host shares how we can deal with and try to reduce the climate crisis.

Since childhood, I’ve been interested in environmental issues. The discussions on various conservation efforts and the overview it provides on new technologies being developed to combat the climate crisis are very insightful.
