Influencer Emma Chamberlain’s podcast “Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlain” began in February 2020 and continues to thrive with over a hundred episodes. Over time, she has gained more than 1.1 million listeners and an almost four star rating. It is a very versatile podcast, which contributes to why so many high school students listen to it. 

Chamberlain is a content creator and YouTuber. Since starting her channel in 2017, the 21-year-old has had a prosperous career. She attended NDB for almost three years, before leaving to pursue YouTube.

Chamberlain records episodes in the comfort of her home, usually on her bed or couch. Her weekly episodes are dependent on what has been going on in her mind. The topics of discussion range from philosophy, advice, teenage stories, interviews, answering big questions and more. 

Unlike many other podcasts, Chamberlain’s is very raw, yet structured. Listening to it makes people feel like they are on a FaceTime call with their friend. It is not formal, and there are occasionally distractions that disrupt the recording. But, each episode has development. Chamberlain has points she wants to go over and does so in an organized manner that allows all her thoughts to tie together at the end.

Chamberlain is a likable creator and established her popularity through her ability to keep it real. With millions of viewers on YouTube already, creating a podcast felt like the right career choice. 

What allowed Chamberlain to skyrocket so many years ago is her relatability. This quality is still present in her podcast and is why it may be so popular. “Anything Goes” even landed an exclusive Spotify deal, representing how Chamberlain’s growth in her career is far from over.  

High school students especially can relate to the topics she discusses. Parties, health and wellness, analyzing fashion trends and female friendships are all topics that could interest teenagers.

Chamberlain even has a few episodes about her own high school experience. She shares awkward stories and interactions and answers questions from fans about her time in school.

There is a reason why the podcast is called “Anything Goes” because Chamberlain discusses even controversial topics. One of her episodes titled, “Do we need religion?” discusses the positives and negatives of religion and whether it is essential to society. While discussing an issue that relates to some on a very deep level, she discusses it in a very well-thought  out and non-controversial way. 

The podcast has episodes for everything. Whether one wants to listen to a cheesy story about high school or receive genuine advice on living a happy life, Chamberlain’s podcast is sure to deliver.
