Fun on Weekdays

Jenna Palek started Fun on Weekdays in her early twenties and has kept it running as she moved through post-grad life, jobs, dating, moving cities, and figuring out who she wants to be. The show feels like a long voice note from a friend who's a little ahead of you on the timeline but still figuring things out. Episodes cover friendships that fade and friendships that last, dating app fatigue, what to do when you hate your job but can't quit yet, travel, books, skincare experiments, and the small existential spirals that hit on a Tuesday afternoon. Jenna also runs themed series where she tries something for a month and reports back, plus Q&A episodes where she reads listener questions and gives her honest take. The vibe is unpolished in the best way. There's no overproduced intro, no constant ad reads interrupting the flow. Just Jenna talking through whatever she's been thinking about that week, often with guests like her sister, her friends, or people she's met online. If you want career ladders and expert frameworks, look elsewhere. If you want someone honest about what her twenties actually feel like, this is the show.
