Travis & Emma made a podcast. No one asked for it, but here we are. We're two best friends who just won't shut up. bestie approved is what happens when two unfiltered best friends talk into microphones and invite you into the beautiful chaos of their friendship. Hosted by Travis and Emma (former finance bros turned content creators and certified messes), this weekly podcast is a love letter to pop culture, authentic friendship, complaining, and all the things we don’t understand (like health insurance, the ocean, and why superglue doesn’t work the way you would expect). We overshare. We spiral. We lovingly roast each other and the world around us. From pregnancy brain and kindergarten crafts to Real Housewives deep dives and jokes about strokes, every episode blends humor, heart, and unhinged honesty. Come for the gossip. Stay for the vibes. New episodes every week. Keep it bestie approved! 🫶🏽

Meanwhile, Travis has a bone to pick with tandem bikes and Valentine’s Day (spoiler: he hates both). The besties lovingly argue their way through the chaos, of course.

Welcome back, besties! In this week’s episode, Travis and Emma dive headfirst into the chaos of adulthood, pregnancy updates, first jobs, and the baffling scam that is American healthcare.
