Only Sometimes

The title of my blog states that sometimes I'm trendy. Sometimes I'll hear about or watch something cool, interesting, or new and want to share it with the world, meaning it will likely make an appearance in my conversations, Instagram, and/or blog posts. I like sharing and expressing  my affection, infatuation, or enjoyment of whatever it happens to be (i.e. The Crown, Blue Apron, The Skimm, GroupMuse, Stranger Things, The Olympics, etc.) with the genuine belief that you'll likely love it too :)

I'm categorizing something as trendy if it's recent news and widely & positively received. Personally, I believe the largest amount of 'trendy points' are awarded simply on the basis if the person sharing heard about it before their listener. So the truth is, sometimes I get lucky and could be considered trendy. I'm sometimes in the know, in the loop, or on board with unique and new content that others might not know about.Other times, I'm not.

Podcasts are a prime example.

I've been sorely behind the times with Podcasts as a whole. I was captivated by Serial like the rest of America, but other than that, I really didn't climb into the endless cavern of options. So, although I'm roughly 14 years late to the podcast game (not trendy), here's my big comeback - I have a few favorites to share that were started or posted within the last few months (trendy!).

Slow Burn - all about the Watergate Investigation. It's fascinating, particularly because it's just as baffling and inconceivable as what's happening in today's world with Trump. There are plenty of similarities!

Skimm'd from the Couch - I've touted the Skimm before, and am still a huge fan. They recently launched Skimm Notes and this new Podcast, Skimm'd from The Couch where the two founders interview other successful businesswomen.

Oprah's Super Soul Conversations - I grew up watching The Oprah Winfrey Show and am in the "she can do no wrong" camp. She is a fantastic interviewer and loves to get to the heart of the matter. I've only listened to two episodes but will keep my eye out for other interviewees I admire.
Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling: Brave New Worlds
Reese Witherspoon: It's About Time

Atlanta Monster - this one is probably the most fascinating. Similar to Serial, this is a true crime investigation and interview process after the fact. Did you know that more than 25 black children were missing and murdered in Atlanta, Georgia in the late 1970's?
