PODCAST RECOMMENDATION:

GOSSIP” HOSTED BY KELSEY MCKINNEY

Summary: Normal Gossip” takes everyday people’s gossip and turns it into entertaining podcast episodes. Each episode, host Kelsey McKinney, along with a special guest, discuss an anonymous piece of gossip from the real world. The inspiration for the podcast comes from the lack of normal gossip during the COVID-19 pandemic. McKinney missed the act of gossiping with her friends and hearing others’ crazy stories. She saw the podcast as a way to bring back this normal act to the unprecedented life people were living. The podcast has been successful on various platforms, currently ranking in the top 100 podcasts in the United States on both Apple and Spotify.

Recommended by: Camy Corcoran, sophomore studying Anthropology and Arabic studies. “[They] have people send these insane pieces of gossip from their actual daily lives… it’s so entertaining. It’s just a really fun podcast to have in the background that gives you a couple of good laughs.”
