Who is in my ear this month? Best Podcasts: May 2023

While the podcasts I listen to change throughout the year, these are some of the ones that currently have captured my attention, deeming them the best podcasts of 2023, so far.

Best Culture Podcast: Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlain: A Podcast That's All About... Anything

Emma Chamberlain is everyone's favorite Met Gala interviewer, YouTuber, social media star, and now podcaster. Her podcast, Anything Goes, is a weekly show where she talks about anything and everything. From her thoughts on the latest trends to her personal experiences, Emma is always candid and honest.

Anything Goes is a refreshing change of pace from the typical celebrity podcast. Emma isn't afraid to be herself, and she doesn't take herself too seriously. She's just a regular 20-something girl (while looking up her age, I realized her birthday (05/22) is one day before mine! Hey girl!!) who's trying to figure out life, and her honesty shines through.


Emma Chamberlain is a natural storyteller, and she has a way of making you feel like you're just hanging out with her. She's the perfect friend to have in your ear, and you'll never know what you're going to get. Will she talk about her latest social media observations? Yes, of course. Will she talk about how her morning poop went? Well, absolutely. Will she talk about nepotism in Hollywood? You bet your ass she will!


Here are some of the things that make Anything Goes a great podcast:

  • It's relatable. Emma talks about things that her listeners can relate to.

  • It's entertaining. Emma talks about a wide range of topics, from her thoughts on the latest trends to her personal experiences.

I don't know if it is because I am a gemini (My 25th birthday is literally 5 days away!!) or if it is just my innate need to know as much as possible, but these podcasts all help me see things in a different light. Whether it is practical advice, world headlines or pop culture takes, when I listen to these podcasts, I feel like I learn a little something and expand my horizons. And I hope you do too!


Happy listening!
