13 Celebrity Podcasts You Need to Listen To
Podcasts have become quite the hobby over the past couple of years. Celebrities have even taken part in this unique form of media. Here are some celebrity podcasts that you can listen to.
Everyone loves a good podcast, from true crime stories to real-life news, including celebrities. And while you've all heard your favorite stars appear as guests on a podcast or two (who could forget Julia Fox's iconic "Uncut Gaahms" line), some have ventured into the podcasting game for themselves. If you're looking for more pop culture in your week, L'OFFICIEL rounds up the best celebrity podcasts to follow.
Podcrushed
Hosted by You star Penn Badgley, Nava Kavelin, and Sophie Ansari, each episode focuses on stories from childhood and middle school, including all the crushing heartbreaks, embarrassing hairstyles, and awkward moments. What's more, every week, Podcrushed features a celebrity guest, including some of Badgley's former co-stars like Jenna Ortega, Chase Crawford, and Sebastian Stan.
High Low with EmRata
Emily Ratajkowski, the actress and model, has added podcast host to her resumé. The My Body author launched the podcast on November 1, and Julia Fox has already been one of her guests. Ratajkowski will cover topics that will range encompass conversations of feminism, pop culture, self-image, relationships, and cultural moments.
Archetypes
In 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex started a podcast called Archetype Audio under their nonprofit organization, Archewell. It was meant as a holiday special to provide new perspectives and build a sense of community. Now in 2022, Megan Markle has started her own podcast called Archetypes. The duchess' podcast launched on August 23 on Spotify with tennis champion Serena Williams as her first guest. The show has uncensored conversations and dissects stereotypes that have been historically placed upon women.
Drama Queens
If you're an avid listener searching for nostalgia, this podcast may be for you. Former cast members of the hit TV show One Tree Hill have started their own podcast. Created by Sophia Bush, Bethany Joy Lenz, and Hilarie Burton, the actresses break down past episodes and invite former castmates to chat.
Red Table Talk
Red Table Talk has become an entertainment phenomenon since its release in 2018. Three generations of women breaking down variations of topics. Jada Pinkett-Smith, her daughter, Willow Smith, and her mother Adrienne invite guests every so often to share their stories.

The Goop Podcast

The Left Ear
Created by actress Dakota Johnson in 2018, the Left Ear podcast becomes a safe space for sexual violence survivors everywhere. Left Ear wasn't a podcast initially. The Fifty Shades star shared a phone number encouraging women to call and anonymously share their stories in the form of a voicemail. Due to the high volume of calls, Johnson then turned the project into a podcast.
