Meagan and Sarah talk about what podcasts WE listen to in this week’s More Than Mom episode! After a dry spell of discovering new audio shows, we each have a few new favorites–and they’re outside of the motherhood/parenting sphere. We’ll tell you what podcasts they are, who we’d recommend listen to them, and where to start for maximum enjoyment. Join us!

Meagan’s Podcast Picks:
- ZigZag, from Stable Genius Productions (recommended: start at the beginning)
- Masters of Scale with Reid Hoffman (recommended: pick a company/interview guest that interests you and start there)
- Mother Like A Boss with Kendra Hennessey (recommended: we love Kendra’s solo episodes, and the back to school organization one, but watch for an interview with Meagan coming soon, and Kendra was also a guest on The Home Hour last month!)
Sarah’s Podcast Picks:
- Dirty John, from Wondery and the LA Times (recommend: you MUST start at the beginning and listen in sequence from the oldest episode to the newest!)
- Pop Culture Happy Hour from NPR (recommended: the longer episodes that include the “What’s Making Us Happy” segment are Sarah’s favorites, but you don’t need to listen in order)
- The Goop Podcast (Sarah doesn’t listen to every one, but liked the Oprah interview and L-O-V-E-D the Sarah Jessica Parker interview)
Other podcasts we love (but may not have had time to mention):
- How I Built This with Guy Raz (similar to Meagan’s pick Masters of Scale)
- Up First from NPR (Sarah gets her morning news from this podcast, and we also hear good things about The Daily from The New York Times)
- Serial (Season One) and S*Town are both great if you haven’t already listened
- Magic Lessons with Elizabeth Gilbert
- #AmWriting with Jess & KJ
