Pointlessly scrolling or listening to Camila Cabello’s Havana for on repeat has become the norm during the morning commute. Excessively consuming media filled with way too many commercials, mindless conversation and photoshopped content – is boring and to be honest we’re over it. Thank pod, for the rise of the podcast revolution.

To ease the pain of the back to back traffic in the afternoon, a packed bus, or a long walk home, we have accumulated a list of our favourite beauty podcasts. Consuming media in a way that is positive, interesting and that can enrich your career is what we’re all about – and it can make all of your lives a lot better – yes, a lot. We’re just a little podcast obsessed.
