The 15 Best Taste of Taylor Podcast Episodes 

We all have those podcast hosts that we can’t get enough of. We turn their episodes on right when they air, we listen to past episodes while doing stuff around the house, we keep up with their daily lives via socials—the whole nine. Here at Dear Media, it’s too hard to choose an ultimate fave—they’re all too good! But, we have REALLY been loving Taste of Taylor lately.

If you’re new to the world of Taylor Strecker, let us introduce you. This former host of SirusXM’s Wake Up With Taylor! and current host of Taste of Taylor is a hilarious late-in-life-lesbian and a total badass. Her podcast is all about current events, learning cool things, talking sh*t, and getting real. But she doesn’t tackle these topics on her own. She features different celebs, influencers, and thought-leaders each and every week. Basically, she’s a powerhouse in never holding back, and we’re here for it.

But because she has so many must-listen to episodes, how are you supposed to figure out which are the best? Don’t worry, that’s what we’re here for. As seasoned Taste of Taylor fans, we know EXACTLY which episodes you need to listen to ASAP, and we’re here to talk about them. Let’s dive in!

Who Is Taylor Strecker?

Taylor Strecker, known for her raspy voice and exuberant laugh, is a seasoned radio vet who has been entertaining listeners for nearly two decades.

Taylor grew up just outside of Boston, in gorgeous Cohasset, Massachusetts. She attended Ithaca College’s Park School of Communications and was discovered in a NYC bar by SirusXM right after graduating. In March 2006, she launched Cosmopolitan Magazine’s Sirius Satellite Radio’s ‘Cosmo Radio’ channel, a radio station “for women, by women.”

After eleven years of entertaining millions of listeners first thing in the morning, Taylor created an independent radio show, titled ‘The Taylor Strecker Show.’ Her loyal fans followed her as she ventured into podcasting and joined the Dear Media team as the host of ‘Taste of Taylor.’ She’s collaborated on friends’ podcasts including ‘The Toast,’ and toured with ‘Straight Up With Stassi Live.’ Because the tour was SO successful, Taylor continued her venture with Stassi through ‘The Bougie Bus Tour’ and ‘Mommy Dearest Tour.’

She also hosted ‘Getting Younger’ on TV Land, Bustle’s ‘Taylor Tries,’ and the ‘Betches Brides’ podcast. All that to say, she’s always been THAT girl. So, now that we’ve covered that, let’s dive a little deeper. Here are the BEST Taste of Taylor episodes you need to listen to like… now.

The 15 Best Taste of Taylor Podcast Episodes

A Match Made in Hell with Alexis Waters

In this episode, Taylor sites down with former bachelorette Alexis Waters to talk all things weddings. Well, and they talk about The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise, of course. From getting married at The Little White Chapel to the “scallop fingers” drama, they give us everything we wanted and more.

Samantha Jones Energy with Stassi Schroeder

Taylor sits down with none other than Stassi Schroeder, and it’s giving big “bestie energy.” It just feels like you’re sitting in with two good friends, chatting about limoncello hangovers and pick me girl energy. And with “pick me girl energy” also comes a conversation about the ICONIC Samantha Jones from Sex in the City. Which, honestly? We’re never missing out on episode about Samantha Jones. Tune in to listen for yourself!

Crazy, Normal, Cool with Whitney Port

Two of our FAVORITE podcast hosts in one single episode??? Say no more. Whitney Port, host of Fertility FM and With Whit, joins Taylor to discuss everything we’ve ever wanted to know about reality TV. And not just any reality TV, but they’re diving deep in The Hills and The City. Which storylines were real and which were fake? What was it like filming one of the OG reality shows? Which ex got Taylor in trouble? You gotta listen in for yourself to hear the answers!

You Can’t Sit with Us with Girls Gotta Eat

Another episode that combines a handful of our favorite hosts in one? THISSSS is why we love Taste of Taylor. In this episode, she’s joined by Rayna Greenberg and Ashley Hesseltine, iconic hosts of Girls Gotta Eat. Let us just say, this episode is LOADED with tons of hilarious and intriguing topics. From vibrators and engagement stories to reality TV and talk about Beyoncé—we’re here for it all.

Miss Co-Dependent

As much as we love all of the legendary guests Taylor has on, we also really love a good solo sesh, too. In this episode, Taylor talks about what her independent weekend away from her wife was like. Or, what she thought it would be like. In true Tay fashion, things got a little messy and confusing during the weekend and she wasn’t afraid to tell us all about it.

The Fugliest Gift in the World

Taylor is joined by her wife to get real about one thing we can ALL relate to: Christmas gifts we hate. They’re breaking down the best gifts, the worst gifts, and everything in between. They also talk more in-depth about their baby-making journey and what they’re envisioning for their future family. We’re obsessed with any episode where we get to hear from both POVs.

Sinners and Strap-Ons with Babette Strecker

Ever thought about what it would be like to tell a strap-on joke in front of your parents? NBD, Taylor did and is here to tell us about it. But she’s not just telling her side of her things, her mom comes in for a second (and necessary) point of view. Did Babsy find it funny? Was she mortified and on her way out the door? Guess you gotta listen to find out!

Girls Gotta Masturbate with Rayna & Ashley

The Girls Gotta Eat gang is back for another episode, and this time it’s even juicier. If there’s one thing Taylor can admit to, it’s not being the best at talking about sex. But that’s okay! Rayna and Ashley are here to do it for her. They talk about vibrators, orgasms, and most importantly, masturbation. Hey—sex positivity is IN, babe. Let’s talk about it.

Needle Teeth with Andrew Collin

You know those times you sit down with friends, start on one topic, and an hour later you’re like… “How did we get here?” This is exactly what this episode is. Taylor sits down with Andrew to talk about everything and nothing at the same time. Drug dealer hair, oral hygiene, Naked Attraction, and Hannah Berner. Topics that have absolutely nothing in common but also… everything we wanna hear about? 10/10 episode, listen for yourself!

Baby Wants a Birkin with Shannon Ford

If you’re anything like us, you saw that Shannon Ford was on this episode and IMMEDIATELY locked in. Shannon, host of Probably a Podcast joins Taylor in this episode to talk about, well, a LOT. They discuss Taylor’s departure from Zara, crash courses on Morgan Wallen concerts, and… Ulysses S. Grant? Yeah, we’re here for it.

From Scones to Thrones with Hannah Berner

Hannah Berner, the queen herself, sat with Taylor in this episode to talk about all things Netflix specials and fame. After We Ride at Dawn premiered on Netflix, Hannah’s life completely changed. Taylor invited her on to celebrate, discuss how she manages the newfound stardom, and talk about some of her worst comedy sets. Hannah’s honest, authentic, and so fun to listen to.

A Leader, Not a Singer with Hilary Hoffman

Have you ever heard of the SOTO method? If you haven’t, you’re missing out. Taylor has on Hilary Hoffman, founder of the method itself, to get a little much-needed inspo. Hilary talks about starting a routine, forming habits, and how it’s (wait for it)… OKAY to not enjoy working out! Say no more, right?

The Audacity of this B*tch with Dr. Wider

Look… it doesn’t matter how much time passes—we’ll always tune into ANY episode talking about the Lively versus Baldoni debacle. Taylor sits down with Dr. Wider to talk about this exact topic, and, of course, much more. They discuss Oliva Munn’s mother, talk about how much kid’s should financially support their parents, and how John Mulaney took a round trip flight to pick up her mail. These are those “nothing but everything” topics that we always love listening to.

Pornhub Snafu with Sofia Franklyn

In the mood to laugh until your stomach hurts? Turn on this episode. Taylor is joined by Sofia Franklyn and their topics couldn’t be more interesting. From smoking crack vs. smoking meth, Mormonism, and M-F-K religion edition, you’ll be replaying this episode time and time again.

Strip Club Next to Scientology Center with Chris Burns

This episode is a whoooole lot of pop-culture updates, hot takes, and personal opinions. But that’s why we listen to Taste of Taylor in the first place! She talks about friends copying your style, Mr. Beast borrowing money, and how Rhode cosmetics sold to e.l.f for one-BILLION dollars. And of course, she’s joined by the iconic Chris Burns, so you know we’re here for it.
