Below you will find my “go to” podcasts in 2025, in NO particular order.
I absolutely love listening to podcasts, the genres I listen to are quite diverse and sometimes, I’ll find a new podcast and binge a handful of episodes that sound super promising, but then it just kinda goes downhill. I won’t be sharing those on my “recommended listening lists”, despite them having a handful of good episodes.
The following podcasts though, are peak listening overall and have captured my attention for the long haul; for a variety of reasons. You’ll even see 2 of them here again from last years list! They stayed strong and continued to produce quality content. 😃

This is the only podcast (that isn’t my own) that made us on the list 2 years in a row. I honestly CAN’T get enough of this podcast. The host does an absolutely incredible job of capturing your attention and storytelling in a very captivating way. Even stories you’ve heard a million times, have you at the edge of you’re seat and/or manage to teach you something new. I really feel like this man is anointed.

Ok, ok yes, this is MY podcast and it’s also the second one that made it onto my list 2 years in a row BUT in my defense, it DOES have good reviews; so I can’t be the only one that enjoys it. 🥰 I really do love creating each episode for you guys and try my best to choose topics that will objectively teach you about how to better care for your beloved pets, without judgment. My guest list a broad, from holistic to traditional health professionals, animal trainers and behaviorists, travelers/adventurers, dog/cat tips, lizard enthusiasts and more! There truly is something for everyone. I’d love for you to give it a listen! :)

Lila is a legend! She is bold and loving. Although I am not Catholic, most of her episodes speak loud and clear to me. Even the episodes that I have discrepancies with, the Lord always uses them to speak to me in one way or another. She touches on topics that most other people wouldn’t dare and does it in a way that is calm and productive. It’s actually quite amazing. I haven’t listened to all of her episodes but the ones I have listened to (almost 20 so far) have all been really amazing!

Ok, when I first heard about this show (on the Lila Rose podcast) I was actually taken aback and couldn’t comprehend how this would be a spiritually supportive podcast. The title sounded scary and even evil if I am honest but boy did I pre-judge it soooo wrongly! It’s not a demonic podcast at all and the way it is done, actually only helps to solidify the truth of the spiritual battles taking place in our world and strengthen our faith and convictions.
5) At Night
Rating: 5 out of 5 out of 62 ratings

Hands down my absolute favorite podcast to put on as I fall asleep. I can’t say enough good things about this podcast. In fact, I even listen to it first thing in the morning while I’m getting ready sometimes because I just can’t get enough. It helps ground me and take away my anxiety. Unfortunately, I don’t think she’s making new episodes anymore so I’ve just been listening to the same ones on repeat for a long time now.
6) Parkography
Rating: 4.8 out of 5 out of 896 ratings

If you love learning about all things national parks, this is the podcast for you! Enough said, don’t skip it my nature loving friends. :)
7) Going Deeper
Rating: 4.9 out of 5 out of 52 ratings

I was hesitant about this podcast at first. The first episode I listened to didn’t have me reeled in, I was totally on the fence but by the second episode, I was hooked! It’s based on solid biblical teaching and real life personal testimony - that also happens to be every relatable in many cases. This is a super good one in my opinion.
8) Dogs 101
Rating: 4.4 out of 5 out of 40 ratings

If you love to learn about different dog breeds, without all of the opinionated and judgmental stuff that can be found in MANY other pet podcasts, this is the podcast for you.
Rating: 4.3 out of 5 out of 7 ratings

I find this podcast both informative and enjoyable, with a peaceful atmosphere. Something I’ve noticed about many pet podcasts is a sense of judgment and elitism—an attitude of “my way is the only right way.” In a sea of those kinds of shows, this one truly feels like a breath of fresh air.
10) With the Perry’s
Rating: 4.9 out of 5 out of 6,914 ratings

I’ve only listened to 3 episodes so far but I’ve also heard them be interviewed on other podcasts a couple of times. So far, I have thoroughly enjoyed every episode that I’ve listened to and am excited to listen to more during my drives or chores.
