A Podcast Inspired Gift Guide, Pt. II

This year, we teamed up with our friends and officemates at Campfire & Co. to steer our readers in the right direction for holiday gift-giving!

The Campfire crew has turned us on to a few of our favorite podcasts, including Girl Boss Radio and The Sporkful, so this year's gift guide is all about what your friends are listening to. Head over to the Campfire & Co blog for Part I, where you'll find the perfect gifties for all the kweens and baes in your life.

And if your pals are the type who regularly blow their budgets on burrata, check out these food-podcast-related suggestions!
