A podcast for Office geeksÂ
If you’re a fan of the US version of The Office, this is the “ultimate Office re-watch podcast” hosted by Angela Kingsey and Jenna Fisher, actresses who played the characters of Angela Martin and Pam Beesley on the iconic show and who are also BFFs in real life. Each week, Angela and Jenna basically fan-girl about their own show, providing juicy and hilarious tidbits on each episode, whether it’s what went down behind the scenes, what was scripted, what wasn’t scripted, costume evolutions of characters and even the moments when cast members break during the scenes. They breakdown the episode by the seconds and occasionally have other cast and crew members of The Office on the podcast as guests. Eighteen episodes in so far, they have a good 183 more to go to cover all nine seasons of The Office, and you know one of these days they’ll have to have Steve Carrell, AKA Michael Scott, on the show. It. Has. To. Happen.Â

A podcast for smart women (or men) who love dumb stuff
Is it okay for Influencers to promote “health” products? Is it okay for doctors to become influencers? Why do we love talking about Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston? Why does the media like to make a villain out of women like Miley Cyrus? What happens when bloggers renounce the lifestyle that made them famous, and is Em Rata a real feminist? What started as a podcast that seemed to discuss mostly The Bachelor Australia from week to week has evolved to something much more. Hosted by 20-something Melbourne journalists Michelle Andrews and Zara McDonald, Shameless gathers the biggest celebrity news weekly, reading them in and out and in between the lines. Andrews and McDonald also produce an additional in-conversation episode once a week, typically interviewing Aussie Influencers, activists or entrepreneurs, but they’ve also once had Erin Brockovich on as a guest, so you never know who’s going to be on next!Â
