Neon is the new black, metal is the new plastic, and podcasts are the new feature films. With the volume of podcast choices, where you dedicate your ears isn’t always an easy decision, and mistakes can happen. (Major key: you are what you listen to.)

When it comes to podcast variety and creativity, the sky’s the limit. Luminary, the new premium podcast platform featuring top show talent and personalized recommendations based on your listening preferences, helps you keep up with all the best content. For tips on where to start listening, we asked Glory Edim, founder of the book club, online community, and literary festival Well-Read Black Girl, about her favorite podcasts on Luminary. Read on for her recos.

Stoop Talks by Hana Baba and Leila Day

Baba and Day are the perfect interview duo. They explore the Black Diaspora and ask their guests to define what blackness means to them. Witty conversations with guests like Kerry James Marshall and Karamo Brown display their dynamic range and curiosity.

Adulting With Michelle Buteau and Jordan Carlos

Buteau and Carlos help us navigate the path of growing up, with guests like Phoebe Robinson and Jim Gaffigan sharing how they accomplish mundane, yet oh so necessary, tasks. Listening to this will fulfill the prerequisite for adulthood.

Fiasco by Leon Neyfakh

If you don’t have time to wade through every pivotal historical event, add Fiasco to your lineup. Neyfakh is a charismatic storyteller and historian who takes us back to the Bush v. Gore election and the legal battle that followed.

Hear to Slay by Roxane Gay and Dr. Tressie McMillan Cottom

Hear to Slay is the Black feminist podcast every person needs to hear. Gay and Cottom offer us gems that will surely live forever in a group text. I’m excited to take notes on whatever they discuss from politics and money to love and culture.

On Second Thought: The Trevor Noah Podcast

I will always love Trevor Noah’s thoughtful, insightful perspective on the world. He’s open-hearted and challenges us to investigate our lives with compassion. Oh, and he’s hilarious. TBH, I may have fallen in love with him while listening.

Listen Now

The Read by Loud Speakers Network

Kid Fury and Crissle are undefeated podcast OGs. They cover hip-hop and pop culture’s most trying stars every week. (Confession: I live for their unfiltered and hilarious commentary on Kanye West.)

Listen Now

Karamo

Everyone’s beloved culture expert, Karamo Brown, is truly my favorite person. His one-of-a-kind podcast invites listeners to have healing conversations for an affirming life. You’ll laugh and you’ll cry. He’s your new best friend, for sure.

Listen Now

Poetics With Omari Hardwick

Omari Hardwick is a man of many talents — an actor, poet, filmmaker, and now a podcast host! Hardwick invites his guests to share an original poem or verse and its significance. It’s an eye-opening, and dare I say, poetic, experience.

Guy Raz is required listening for every person with an entrepreneurial dream. If you need advice on leadership, he’s your guy. You’ll learn what motivates and inspires leaders to be the best.
