Listening is an important component in our lives, especially when reality comes into play, and pausing for a moment is not an option to be used. There come times when all we need is someone to listen to us, or rather someone who just understands. But with distance and daily chores that takes us away from the world, it’s hard to connect. Even the friends who live minutes away from us are less likely to have the time for a conversation. And that’s when adaptability comes in handy.
Audiobooks and podcasts are the new companions and generational connection that has made an adult’s life seem more enjoyable. It’s the excitement of being able to listen and connect with others without knowing them personally. This connection is based on sharing equivalent emotions and experiences that makes familiarity a topic of interest to converse about without being heard from your part. The realization of knowing that others are either going through the same process as you, experiencing the same situation as you, and share the same weird interests as you, makes life more adaptable when choices are met with judgmental comments and eyes.
Turning to a podcast is the new norm and comfort for us all. It’s the escapism that takes us far away from our reality, the heaviness of our chores, family obligations, workplace issues, and even loneliness. All of our uncertainties and unnecessary stress hit a pause when a specific favorite podcast of ours is on play and repeat. We spend hours waiting to hear a soothing familiar voice who is more of a friend and far away companion than our friends in here.
It’s the anticipation of what they have to say and share. Not all podcasts are tales and stories to be heard. Some are as simple as a conversation with a friend who fills you up with their day. From grocery shopping, breakups, and even work issues, you listen to the voice note as if its a new episode from your favorite podcast. Podcasts nowadays come in different shapes and forms, yes they are audios, but due to technological advances, we can watch narrators share their stories, day to day experiences in the city, and give us a the quick pep talk we need before the big move.
And whether you’re a listener who loves to daydream, get spooked before bed, or just loves to experiences the life of others while being in the comfort of their home, there’s something for everyone.
To the gentle souls who crave and long for a big sister advice, Bella has got you covered. ‘You’ve Got Mail’ is a heartfelt podcast in a way that we are all familiar with. It’s the long voice notes we get from our friends late at night, updating us about their day as they take us through each detail, making us live the moment while not being physically with them. But with every update and detail we get to hear, a sisterly advice pops in, making us feel less stressed and alone in this wide world. And that’s exactly what Bella is doing. She’s basically being the big sister and a friend who we all need in this world. Her updates are fun and easy to follow. She makes her listeners laugh, cry, and kick their feet under the blanket just like we all do when the enemies in our book have finally become lovers!

Every platform has a cozy chat to offer, and an episode to devour. And as women are less likely to be listened to, podcasts are proving the opposite. Both Megan Lee and Bella are fantastic narrators and story tellers in their own unique way of creativity. As Bella takes one into her world and opens herself up to strangers she has never met, and sets herself to be the sister and a friend everyone needs, Megan takes her listeners into her world of creepy tales that makes one want to stay awake for another round of episodes despite being scared to the point of pulling an all-nighter.
Both women are incredible, and what is women empowerment if we can’t support the ladies who are more of friends and companions than anyone else. The ones who share the same interests and life struggles as we do, the soothing and comfort of daily adventures accompanied by updates that we never thought would matter to us, especially that it’s from a stranger. But here we are, either playing every episode on repeat, or waiting for a new episode to drop, just like a desperate lover
Therefore, get your snacks, devices and headphones ready. For, you have the perfect podcast choice for each time of the day !
