Podcasts. Millennials can’t get enough of them. There is something about consuming content that can be done while, working, cleaning, driving, and, above all, texting that makes podcast the perfect medium for kids of the late 80s and early 90s. If you listen to podcasts, you listen to as many podcasts as you can handle, and if you hear someone isn’t listening, it has just become your worldly imperative to convince them of the terrible, terrible life decision they have made.

But Millennials aren’t just listening anymore. They’re starting to make them. While the podcasting giants of today start to age into their late 30s, 40s, and 50s, a new crop of creatives are beginning to go the way of their audio idols. But who are they, what are they doing, and why should we pay attention to them? Consider this piece a chance at answering that question. A Forbes “30 Under 30” for podcasting, except in this case it’s more like a “20 (mostly) in their 20s of Podcasting.”

This list is by no means comprehensive, and definitely is not some power ranking of the best podcasters young enough to have watched “All That” on Nickelodeon. This is a list of 20 people that really should be on the podcast world’s radar in 2015. Podcasting is over 10 years old and those who spent their adolescence and college years listening to podcasts are starting to put their hats into the ring, and that’s a good thing. Now that podcasting has slowly but surely made its way into the mainstream spotlight, we should have an ear to the ground to the people pushing the format.
