While there is definitely nothing wrong with starting your morning by watching Beyonce’s Formation video for the thousandth time or listening to Bieber’s “Sorry” on repeat, it’s nice to switch it up with something a bit more informative every once in a while. We’re majorly addicted to podcasts that inspire us to get creative, especially when shuffling through apps on our morning commute. There are a lot of podcasts that are just as addictive as Serialthat make time on the bus fly by and help liven up our lunchtime convos. We’re particularly digging these 10 fashion-centric podcasts. They feature some of the coolest cats in the industry and are sure to leave you feeling stimulated for the day ahead.
1. Oh Boy by Man Repeller: Hosted by filmmaker Jay Buim, Oh Boy is a weekly, hour-long conversation between him and some of the coolest entrepreneurs, influencers, writers, designers and personalities in the worlds of fashion and beauty. Jay has the most calming voice; if the convo wasn’t so interesting, he’d totally put you to sleep! (via Man Repeller)
2. Monocycle: Leandra Medine, the Man Repeller herself, is one of the most prolific and hilarious writers in the biz and Monocycle gives her the opportunity to shine as an engaging, thoughtful conversationalist as well. Her topics are always relatable, honest and full of insight that will have you reflecting on your own opinions in a new way. (via Man Repeller)
Episode Pick: Confidence
3. Radio Cherry Bombe: Food and fashion are our two favorite “F” words. The girls at Radio Cherry Bombe keep us feeling satisfied and fulfilled every week with their in-depth interviews with the most intriguing and driven women in the food and fashion worlds. You get to know behind-the-scenes women (being a forager for Whole Foods is a thing?!) and get to know your favorite girl crushes even better — Garance Dore stopped by on her book tour and we fell even more in love! (via Scotch and Supper)
Episode Pick: Erica Blumenthal and Nikki Huganir of Yes Way, Rose
4. Filler: Set every week in a London coffee shop, Filler is a creative industry podcast that features fashion bloggers to magazine editors to YouTube stars. It’s a fascinating look into how our digital world has helped shaped some intensely creative folks’ careers. If you find yourself getting philosophical with your friends about Instagram’s place in our lives, you’ll love Filler. (via Jordan Bunker)
5. Of a Kind: Co-founders of design site Of a Kind, Claire Mazur and Erica Cerulo, spend an hour once a week chatting about fashion trends, beauty products, home design and lots of other stuff we love with each other and a bevy of insider-y guests. They have that conversational “we’re-in-the-room-with-you” vibe down, which makes for a totally enjoyable listening experience. (via Heritage Radio Network)
Episode Pick: Sloane Crosley and Go-To Candles
6. Unravel: While Unravel may be relatively new to the podcast scene it is so well done — and we’re already hooked! Unravel analyzes a new component of the fashion industry each week with insightful analysis and thorough research. History buffs, rejoice! (via Pod Fanatic)

You get to know these influencers on an intimate level and gain a better understanding of the industry in the process. (via Avery D’Alessandro)
8. Whistling in the Dark: With an Emmy nod and stint as an MTV exec, we care what host Shannon Fitzgerald thinks about all things pop culture. She seems to score the best guests with specific points of view and strong opinions, from Dan Savage to Rose McGowan and Amanda de Cadenet. The conversations are lively, unexpected and completely hilarious. (via Stitcher)
