8 Podcast Options to Laugh, Flourish, and Focus
Podcasts, like audiobooks, are a great source of information without a structured format. You can listen to podcasts anywhere and at your convenience.
Their informal model is entertaining and can substitute other audio options so you can switch it up from time to time.
There are so many genres to choose from. You can find podcasts that focus on: money, family, friendship, self-help, comedy, politics—you name it, and I’m sure there’s a podcast on that topic.
With most businesses and entertainment sources open with limited capacity and the colder months coming ahead, consider checking out some of these podcasts that will keep you entertained and learning through this winter season.
How did this get made?
This hilarious podcast is all about watching terrible movies and discussing them amongst their group of friends. My favorite episode they’ve discussed so far is Cats. I couldn’t stop laughing. The way they go over the movie with their funny and uncensored banter is what I need during these very grim times. It definitely made my day much brighter, and I highly recommend listening to this podcast.
Entry Level
Remember that time when you were younger, and you had the worst job ever? Well, this podcast discusses that first entry-level job that sucked and the garbage they had to put up with before getting to the position the guest now has.
