10 Fashion Podcasts to Add Style to Your Morning Commute
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 Serial that 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)

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.

(via Scotch and Supper)
