Your That Sounds Fun Fall Podcast Playlist
There’s something about fall that makes us want to slow down just a little after a busy summer season!
The weather gets cooler, the calendar fills up with football games and pumpkin patches, and suddenly a walk around the neighborhood sounds like the perfect way to spend an afternoon. We’re making cozy dinners, stocking up on new cozy sweaters (thrifting is your new BFF), and looking for any excuse to linger a little longer over a cup of coffee.
And, of course, we need something good to listen to while we do it. And we got you covered. So whatever Fall activity you are jumping into, let this be your playlist alongside it:
For a Slow Fall Morning
House of Joy — “How to Stop Resisting Your Life & Start Enjoying It!”
Fall can make us want to savor the season—but sometimes we’re so focused on what’s coming next that we forget to enjoy what’s happening right now.
This episode of House of Joy is a beautiful reminder to stop resisting the life you’re currently living and start noticing the good that’s already there. Think: a cool breeze, a quiet morning, time with people you love, and all those little moments that don’t necessarily make it onto your to-do list.
Listen while: You’re drinking your coffee, sitting on the porch, or enjoying a few quiet minutes before the day gets going.
For Your Sunday Reset
She Lives Purposefully — “Stop Just Getting Through It: Finding Purpose & Joy RIGHT Where God Has You”
Fall can easily become a season of simply getting through it. School schedules, work deadlines, sports practices, holidays, and approximately 400 things on the family calendar can make it tempting to keep looking toward the next break.
This episode is an encouragement to stop waiting for the next season to enjoy your life and instead find purpose and joy right where God has you. Because there’s a lot of life happening in the ordinary days, too.
Listen while: You’re taking a Sunday afternoon walk, getting ready for the week, or resetting your house for Monday.
For Getting Back Into a Fall Routine
The Paula Faris Show — “Why We’re Ready for School to Start”
There’s something about September that feels like a second New Year. New routines, new schedules, new goals—and maybe a new hobby?
In this episode, Paula talks about getting ready for the school year, family adventures, making memories, and learning to play golf. It’s a fun reminder that getting back into a routine doesn’t mean life has to become all work and no play. Sometimes the best part of a new season is finding something new to enjoy together.
Listen while: You’re driving to school pickup, heading to the golf course, or taking advantage of one of those last warm afternoons.
For a Cozy Night In
Heart of Dating — “How I Knew…”
What’s more fall than turning the lights down, making something warm to drink, and settling in for a really good story?
In this episode, JJ and Kate kick off a new season by sharing their own meet-cute story and hearing stories from couples about the moment they knew they were meant to be together. It’s the kind of conversation that makes you want to text your best friend afterward and ask, Okay, but how did you know?
Listen while: You’re making dinner, folding laundry, or settling onto the couch for the evening.
For a Reflective Fall Walk
We’re Going There with Bianca Juárez — “Necessary Endings: Why Knowing When to Leave Is Key to Growth”
Fall is a season of change, so it’s a pretty fitting time to think about what we’re carrying forward—and what we might be ready to leave behind.
In this episode, Bianca and Amy Ayala talk about feedback, mentorship, growth, and recognizing when a season or relationship has come to an end. It’s a thoughtful conversation about how sometimes making room for what’s next means being willing to let go of what’s no longer serving you.
Listen while: You’re taking a long walk, driving somewhere beautiful, or enjoying a little uninterrupted time to think.
Enjoy the season we’re actually in. Happy listening—and happy fall!
