Engage your ear holes, and your mind.
We’re going to go ahead and assume you’re treating yourself to new episodes of Girlboss Radio every Wednesday, as well as our newest podcast, Self-Service, with Girlboss’ editorial director Jerico Mandybur, which delivers some self-care goodness every Sunday.
But should you be hankering for even more wisdom, giggles and diatribes (and we know you are) we’ve compiled some of our favorite podcasts—mostly by women of color—that are asking the asks and keeping the conversation about what it means to be intersectional and inclusive moving forward.
Another Round
Hosted by former Late Show With Stephen Colbert writer Helen Nigatu and BuzzFeed culture writer Tracy Clayton, these two brilliant women team up for some hot takes on race, gender, pop culture, all whilst having some drinks, as the title suggests.
They’re some heavy hitters in the podcast arena, hosting guests such as Hillary Clinton and Ta-Nehisi Coates; expect some laughs and for your brain to be prodded as they ask the hard questions and tell the good jokes.
Sooo Many White Guys
Phoebe Robinson is probably best known for her othersupremely successful podcast, 2 Dope Queens, which she co-hosts with Jessica Williams and which recently debuted as a standup/variety miniseries on HBO.

Come for co-hosts Nakkiah Lui and Miranda Tapsell’s witty rapport, stay for the incisive, entertaining and informative look at Australian Indigenous culture in this popular podcast that falls under the BuzzFeed network.
It’s be an unexpectedly cathartic experience for non-Aussies in particular, playing voyeur to the issues of a country thatisn’t currently being run by a Twitter troll, but still has a long, long way to go went it comes to race.
