Podcasts I find interesting
I wish I had more time for these...
This recently came up in my conversations with friends: What are the good podcasts to listen to? Well, some time ago, I got into a habit of listening to podcasts on my walks, while driving, and doing chores. I listen to a pretty wide range of podcasts, often on topics I’m interested in but wouldn’t have time to read about.
Here is my list, by topic. Note that some podcasts are mentioned under several topics. Also, the density of good stuff varies widely between these podcasts – in some cases, I try to listen to every episode; in others – it’s an occasional good story. Anyhow, my iPhone ranks the Podcasts app as the top battery user, and it’s also the second largest by storage, after Photos. And this means that there are way more podcasts that I can listen to.
