These Top Podcasts Will Nourish Your Mind And Soul

Podcasts aren’t just for entertainment anymore. If you’re looking for inspiration, motivation or even just a safe place to share what’s ailing you, podcasts have become the new platform for all things mental health. These, in particular, may be just what the doctor ordered.

The Mental Illness Happy Hour with Paul Gilmartin

“The Mental Illness Happy Hour is a weekly online podcast that interviews comedians, artists, friends, and the occasional doctor. Each episode explores mental illness, trauma, addiction and negative thinking.”

The Friend Zone

“Every Wednesday as Dustin Ross, HeyFranHey & Assante explore mental health, mental wealth, and mental hygiene…because who in the hell wants a musty brain?”

On Air with Ella

“This show is for anyone who wants to feel better, look better, live better and have some fun on the way. Ella interviews experts on wellness, personal growth, performance, real food nutrition, fitness, mindset, confidence…anything to help you get more out of your life…NOW.”

On Being

“On Being takes up the big questions of meaning with scientists and theologians, artists and teachers — some you know and others you’ll love to meet. Each week is a new discovery about the immensity of our lives — updated every Thursday.”

Call Your Girlfriend

“Call Your Girlfriend is a podcast for long-distance besties everywhere, hosted by Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman and produced by Gina Delvac […] We’re highbrow and lowbrow, unapologetically feminist, and not afraid to realtalk each other about everything from menstrual cycles to workplace dramas.”

Strangers by Lea Thau

“Each episode is an empathy shot in your arm, featuring true stories about the people we meet, the connections we make, the heartbreaks we suffer, the kindnesses we encounter, and those frightful moments when we discover that WE aren’t even who we thought we were.”

That’s So Retrograde

“A wellness podcast by Elizabeth Kott & Stephanie Simbari — two Los Angeles based ladies taking it day by day, juice by juice & one conscious haphazard convo at a time.”

The Core Podcast

“The Core is all about personal development and encouraging all of you who listen to do the inner work in an effort to be a better version of yourselves. Exploring topics such as self-love, personal growth, love + relationships, career advice, spirituality and more.”

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits.
