At VALLEY, we believe it is important to consume entertainment that is not only funny and captivating, but also contains a message the consumer can believe in. These five podcasts (available for free through the iTunes ‘Podcast’ app) give every woman the opportunity to listen, think, relate and laugh to podcasts made for women, by women.

With an eye-catching title and two unapologetic hosts, “Guys we F****d” has been making major waves in the iTunes charts. Creators Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson (the partnership known as Sorry About Last Night) are leading the sex-positive movement by producing the self-proclaimed “anti-slut-shaming podcast.” Each week the girls interview a man in which they have slept with, some for love, some for convenience, and get into the candid details with their special guest. The show was created in an effort to open up our conversations and attitudes towards sex, and of course normalize and empower the sexually-awakened woman.

This podcast is for the listener who likes more reporting than chitchat and wants to stay up to date and informed on women’s issues. From breaking down the #MeToo campaign to episodes entitled “Are Women Using Wine to Cope with the Patriarchy?,” hosts Emilie Aries and Bridget Todd make sure you never miss a beat. “Stuff Mom Never Told You” does an excellent job of pairing thorough research and thoughtful opinion with smart humor and captivating entertainment.
