Whether you tune in between metro rides, during a jog to clear your head, while cleaning the apartment, or just before falling asleep, the podcast phenomenon is now part of daily life. From passionate debates to intimate monologues, these audio gems captivate every kind of listener: from fashion addicts to film buffs to those on a quest for self-growth.
Here are our 7 favorite podcasts of the moment, true audio treasures to dive into for a boost of inspiration, emotion, and culture.
The Most Star-Studded
Concept : formerly Canapé Six Places, now renamed Couch, content creator Léna Situations, the French influencer shining on every red carpet from Paris to Los Angeles, reinvents her iconic podcast for a new season. New name, new guests, new platform: a fresh wave sweeps the podcast world.
From Timothée Chalamet, Anna Wintour, and Zendaya to Adèle Exarchopoulos, her candid conversations are now also available in video format on Disney+. Expect the same warm, intimate vibe, and major guests (starting with Rihanna).
Our favorite episodes : the unforgettable Paris bus tour with Billie Eilish, which we listened to then watched just to see them giggling past the Eiffel Tower. We also loved her deep chat with Adèle Exarchopoulos, one of France’s most outspoken and adored actresses.
The Most Fashionable
Concept : from the team behind L’Étiquette, the men’s fashion magazine, comes Habitudes, a podcast for style lovers who prefer listening to reading.
Actors, musicians, designers, even politicians reveal their fashion stories: from their childhood outfits to what their parents wore and what they’re wearing today. Each episode feels like an intimate confession, behind every outfit hides a memory, a motivation, a slice of life.
Our favorite episodes : those featuring guests outside the fashion world. We loved learning what Pio Marmaï wears today, how Mike Horn dresses for his wild expeditions, and the hilarious tale of Jean-Pascal Zidi hauling his designer tux to Cannes, only to have Gilles Lellouche tell him it could’ve been delivered straight to his hotel room.
The Most Delightfully Absurd
Concept: Photographer and influencer Alice Moitié brings her surreal humor to Alice Underground, her YouTube-filmed podcast that’s as bizarre as it is addictive.
Each guest gets a custom set and costume, think Ancient Greece for Panayotis Pascot, Versailles for Loïc Prigent, or a hotel lobby for Pierre de Maere. Even in audio-only mode, her quirky “Would You Rather” games, GPT-written scripts, and spontaneous laughter are pure serotonin.
Our favorite episodes : the chaotic football-club-themed one with Paul de Saint Sernin, where witty banter flies like ping-pong balls, and the colorful chat with Isaak Dessaux, totally offbeat and uplifting.
The Most Chit-Chat
Concept : each episode of Anything Goes by Emma Chamberlain feels like a stroll through her mind, part therapy, part comedy, part real talk.
One day she’s discussing philosophy, the next she’s recounting awkward teenage moments or chatting with guests like Kendall Jenner, doctors, or even her parents. Honest, raw, and comforting, Emma makes you feel like you’re FaceTiming your most thoughtful friend.
Our favorite episode : The Lies I Tell Myself, a brutally honest self-checklist of all the little lies we tell ourselves to avoid facing reality. The kind of episode that leaves you reflecting… and wanting to start fresh.
The Most Cinephile
Concept : if you love heated debates after a movie screening, L’Entracte Ciné is your go-to. Four film-loving friends gather before each screening to share expectations, then come back to discuss, often passionately, what they just watched.
It’s witty, spontaneous, and feels like being part of the group yourself. (Pro tip: listen after watching the movie to avoid spoilers !)
Our favorite episode : the one about Anora, the Palme d’Or winner, a lively argument where everyone has a strong take, and every opinion feels justified.
The Deepest
Concept : produced by Louie Media, Émotions dives into one universal feeling per episode, jealousy, admiration, solitude, or even love at first sight.
Through personal stories, and expert insights from psychologists, sociologists, and philosophers, it helps listeners name and understand what they feel.
It’s a soothing, introspective listen, like therapy for your earbuds.
Our favorite episode : the one dedicated to admiration, which subtly asks: why do we admire what we admire? A fascinating journey through human emotion, art, and connection.
The Most Design-Forward
Concept : hosted by journalist Hortense Leluc, Décodeur is the go-to podcast for design lovers. Each episode features inspiring creatives and interior experts, from Cordélia de Castellane to Sophie Fontanel, sharing their vision of beautiful spaces.
Structured like a magazine, episodes alternate between trend picks, artist portraits, home tours, and spotlights on brands to follow. Serious content, but with an easygoing tone, perfect for a stylish coffee break listen.
Our favorite series : Stylé, where design icons like Amélie Pichard, Caroline de Benoist, and Charlotte Chesnais open the doors to their dream homes. Pure interior envy.
