Here's the list the that nobody asked for! I made a comprehensive list of podcast recommendations from me.  

1. My Favorite Murder

hosted by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark Non-Fiction Each week Karen and Georgia share their love of true crime with us by sharing their favorite murder.  These two comedians aren't great on facts or figures but will definitely make you question if you're a decent human by making you laugh out loud about horrible, horrible murders. Not before long you'll be repeating Karen and Georiga's hilarious but great advice such as "You're in a cult, call your dad.", "Get a job, buy your own shit, and stay out of the forest.", and "FUCK POLITENESS!" But ALWAYS "Stay sexy and DON'T GET MURDERED!" Favorite Episode: ALL! but #18 - Investigateighteen Discovery

2. The Last Podcast on the Left

hosted by Ben Kissel, Henry Zebrowski, and Marcus Parks Non-Ficton Three guys delve deep into a world of nightmares both real and imagined. Their humor is definitely not for everyone (for the love of god, do not listen to the Jon Benet episode first if you want to try this podcast). This podcast started off as a horror movie recap/review podcast but quickly became the end all be all podcast for information about aliens (THE PLEIADIANS MAN!), the secret lizard people controlling the government, <3 cryptids <3 , government conspiracies, satanism, magic, serial killers (or commonly referred to in the podcast as "heavy hitters").  They have covered more than their fair share of serial killers, a few I can remember are: Ramirez, Dahmer, BTK, Kaczynski, Kemper, Holmes, Chikatilo and MORE! Seriously, this is one of the best researched podcast out there! Favorite Episode: Dahmer. "THERE'S BONES IN THE CHOCOLATE"

3. Welcome to NightVale

hosted by NightVale Presents Fiction Turn on your radio and listen to updates about a small desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while we all pretend to sleep. Cecil will update you on all the important going-ons in Night Vale. Like the new dog park! Dogs are not allowed in the park. That all angels are named Erika with a "K" but reminds you that it is illegal to recognize the existence of angels.   This podcast was the first podcast that I've ever listened too, and I still love it very much.  I can't even begin to describe it without sounding like a crazy person, because the story is so crazy and fun. You'll love it too! Favorite Episode: #13 - This is a story about you

4. Alice isn't Dead

hosted by NightVale Presents Fiction A woman truck driver takes to hauling after her wife goes missing from her life.  We listen to her radio messages from her truck in an attempt to some how get in touch with her wife. She soon gets caught up in a fight for her life and others when she encounters the Thistle Man.  I found this podcast to scary and had me on the edge of my seat. I'm looking forward to the new season coming out this Apirl! Favorite Episode: Part 1: Chapter 4: Factory by the Sea

5. LORE

hosted by Aaron Mahnke Non-Fiction The tag line says it all "Because sometimes the truth is more frightening than fiction."  I love this podcast because it gives historical information in a cinematic way. It uses history to explain vampires, superstitions, and urban legends.  Soon to be a television show! Also, super embarrassing but this podcast made me terrified for trolls. I could barely walk my dog at night because what if there was a troll out there!? Also, this guys voice is nice. Favorite Episode:  23: ROPE AND RAILING and 9: A DEVIL ON THE ROOF

6. Unexplained

hosted by Richard Maclean Smith Non-Fiction This podcast looks at our reality and sees how it might line up with unexplainable phenomena. It has covered aliens, cults, ghosts, magic, and more! It's like if The Last Podcast on the Left had a baby with Lore. Favorite Episode:  2: RESURRECTED DREAMS

7. Casefile

hosted by anonymous Non-Fiction This is an Australian podcast so let me start out with *accent*.  Which makes helps make crime and murder just a little bit more enjoyable because I can't help but laugh anytime the narrator says "They went to hospital" or "They went to University." But on a serious note, this podcast is THE BEST true crime podcast! Because it's Australian based is awesome too, because Australia has some crazy crimes but I'm not as familiar with them as I am with American crime. (They don't just do Australian crime though) Overall, this podcast is excellently produced and researched.  They even do updates on cases if any new information comes out. Favorite Episode: 15 - Weepy Voice Killer

8. Dumb People Town

hosted by Daniel Van Kirk, Randy Sklar, and Jason Sklar. Non-Fiction This is a newer podcast, but I really enjoy it so far! Each week there are three REAL new stories brought to the table and read while everyone makes fun of it. The hosts often, if not always have guests on the show, even Jon Hamm. Super funny! Favorite episode: 2: Ryan Sickler – Sliced Cheese at CVS

9. How Did This Get Made

You guys, I am like totally a noob podcast listener/convert/obsessor. But podcasts are giving me so much life!!!! Like, literally, they are forcing me to show up in my life differently, with more bravery, presence, curiosity, wonder, and awe! I had no clue this was like, a thing, until September, and my life is forever changed.

How could putting in ear buds and listening to some randoms pontificate on randomness have such a profound effect on a person? Well, podcasts have been my spiritual food - connecting me back to my spirit. And in some baffling way, they are reflecting back to me parts of myself I lost along the way, the parts of myself I stuffed so I could fit in here in Nashville. The New York City girl in me, the world traveller, the seeker, the yogi, the foodie, the creative, the musician, the artist. Parts of myself that I love and miss! I have been so focused on other people, and acting a certain way (people-pleasing) so that said people would stay, that I slowly tucked away a few pieces of my vivacious, free-spirited, tree-hugging, culture-loving self! I’ve been feeling very separate, and alone. I forgot how much magic each of us posesses - just the way we are - and I forgot that I am so crazy loved by the Universe & God. I’ve also been beating myself up for allowing myself to slip into fear and separateness! But what I’ve experienced - a Dark Night of the Soul - is just a part of the spiritual journey. We forget so we can remember so we can forget so we can remember. And, thanks to the incredible array of podcasts out there, (and yoga, and meditation, and some other stuff we’ll get to), I’m remembering all right, and it’s so so good to be coming home to myself.

The first podcast I have to recommend is “Magic Lessons with Elizabeth Gilbert”. It is because of this podcast - honestly - that I can no longer deny my creative urgings. I have to come out of the shadows and make another album!! I reached out for some support and am currently meeting with producers you guys! It’s crazy fun! I am also organizing exclusives for my Pledge Music campaign and redesigning my website. 5 years after I released By Heart, I am launching pre-orders, (hopefully on Valentine’s Day), because I am ready!! I’ve been writing, studying, travelling, honing the crafts of songwriting & performance, and it’s finally time to be brave & shine my little light! I hope you’ll join me on that journey too (more details soon). But for now, bust out your podcast app and search for these favorite podcast episodes from the links I will continue to share. Prepare to be inspired!! Thanks for reading. I hope together we can find the things that give us life, because the world needs more people who are truly living.

Love,
