If you’re a regular podcast listener, you know that you can find one for just about anything you want to learn about or listen to. Why not check out some apartment podcasts? We’re talking finance tips for renters, DIY tips and anything else the apartment dweller needs to know.
Check out our list of the top apartment podcasts.
1. Apartment 26
Apartment 26 is a newer podcast – there are only about a dozen episodes out as of publication, but the hosts live in NYC and they’re thrifting wizards.
In their inaugural episodes, the duo explain how they came about a segment of cut-out bowling lanes that they converted to a coffee table, painted their rental and managed to find some unusual storage spaces in their tiny space. If you’re an urban renter looking to save a buck or make your life a bit easier, check out Apartment 26.
2. Downsize with Style
Downsize with Style is a podcast hosted by Bettina Deda, a writer and designer who specializes in minimalistic interior design. The podcast covers a number of topics including color psychology, styling for livability and handling apartment life as an empty nester or single person.
The podcast has not been produced since 2017 but there are a number of existing episodes that will provide hours of design tips.
3. Brick Underground
Brick Underground is perhaps the most all-encompassing podcast in terms of information for renters. Some of the information given is specific to NYC, as that’s where the host is based, but many things will be helpful to apartment renters across the nation.
The most recent episode dives into apartment life alongside an anxious and aggressive pet. Past episodes have covered renovation, rental blacklisting, winning a housing lottery and even some personality features interviewing real-life renters.
4. Millennial Money
Part of apartment life is being able to afford said apartment. Rent rates are statistically increasing, especially in some specific highly-desirable cities.
Millennial Money offers finance tips to help you save no matter what stage you’re at. The podcast is awesome because it has tips for the brokest-of-the-broke young adult and for those young people who have already made some progress towards financial freedom.
Whether you’re saving for an extra latte to treat yourself at the end of your week or saving up to snag your first “adult” apartment, listening to Millennial Money will put you on the right path.
5. The Lively Show
OK, we know. Everyone is already talking about The Lively Show. But, the podcast actually has a lot to offer.
The Lively Show covers all the bases that an apartment podcast should – money, fashion, the home, personal development, business and so much more. Basically, every apartment dweller could learn something from The Lively show.
Hosted by Jess Lively, an entrepreneur turned full-time creative mentor, The Lively Show is a great way to learn how to achieve your goals. Whatever you’re looking to do, this podcast might just be the perfect inspiration.
6. Burnt Toast
As a renter, burnt toast is probably the last term you want to use to describe your cooking experience. But, Burnt Toast the podcast is, fortunately, about more than that.
Burnt Toast is described as the intersection of life and cooking. The podcast explores topics like breakfast around the world, maple syrup having a “moment” and the worlds spiciest foods. If you’re looking for a commute-length podcast to sharpen your kitchen skills and your brain, check out Burnt Toast.
7. Stuff You Should Know
How much more useful can it get? Stuff You Should Know is a podcast that teaches you – you guessed it – stuff you should know.
The podcast has tons of episodes, so it can keep you busy for quite a while. There’s really no roadmap for the topics presented in each episode but every one tends to be interesting regardless.
You never know when this “catch-all” podcast can be a lifeline to you as a renter. Important topics in the past have included how hypoallergenic cats work, how effective recycling is, avoiding hoarding, cake-baking tips and so much more. If you’re a renter looking to learn a little something, even if you’re not sure what exactly, check out this podcast.
9. #Millennial
If you read this last one as, “Pound-sign Millennial,” this probably isn’t the podcast for you. #Millennial is perhaps the most helpful as far as apartment podcasts go – it covers literally everything about the millennial experience.
New episodes come out weekly and most discussions center around current events, so #Millennial can help keep you informed in an easy-to-understand way! The podcast just launched its fifth season so there’s plenty to listen to while you’re waiting for the next week’s episode to come out.
