Whether you’re in the mood for fashion chats, fun celebrity interviews, dating advice, or stories that motivate and inspire, there’s a podcast for every mood, so we’ve rounded some of our favorites.

For Fashion Lovers

The Cutting Room Floor

If you’re passionate about fashion and style, The Cutting Room Floor is our favorite for interviews with designers, stylists and influencers. Hosted by Omondi, we love this statement she shared about the podcast: “One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned over the last two years is that “people can only meet you as deeply as they’ve met themselves.” And I’m attracted to the people with the courage to go deeper. The ones who don’t squirm and remain steadfast in their truth. This upcoming season we cover it all. It’s a collection of incredible guests who share their creative process, influences, triumphs, neuroses, shortcomings, pet peeves and growing pains. It’s an approach to fashion media in a format that allows us to learn more about the people of this industry and who they are outside of what they do.

Let’s Get Dressed

Let’s Get Dressed with Liv Perez is all about personal style. With guests ranging from designers to influencers, Perez provides listeners with candid conversations about the intersection of fashion and identity.

The Fashion Nap

On The Fashion Nap, the name of the show is quite literal: content creator Chani Ra talks about fashion while her baby naps.

For Arts & Culture

Fashion Neurosis

Ever wanted to see Rick Owens interviewed on a psychoanalyst-style chaise longue? Well, now you can. Fashion Neurosis with Bella Freud is a one-of-a-kind podcast by Sigmund Freud’s great-granddaughter, who is also a fashion designer. In an Instagram caption, she explained, “Each week join me as I invite a special guest to ‘lie on the couch’ and explore the connection between fashion and identity.⁠ Expect exciting conversations covering a range of topics from love, identity, culture, anxiousness and politics, as my celebrity guests reveal their insights, faux pas, turn ons and turn offs.⁠ Guests range from fashion icons and footballers to rock stars and writers, each offering a unique view point into why we wear what we wear.⁠”

brendawareness

One of the coolest picks on this list is by Brenda Weischer, known online as “brendahashtag.” On her show brendawareness, she talks about the following: “fashion, the industry, community building, monetizing her platform, being chronically online, writing, influencing, having a personal brand, therapy, image building, collecting, hoarding, manifesting, personal style, navigating being an online figure and everything else that comes to her mind.” It’s personal, unedited and recorded on her iPhone.
