Podcasts are great for getting things done
My Current Top 5 Podcasts on Spotify (and elsewhere)
Between interviewing for jobs, which is a job in itself, I find myself faced with a neverending list of household tasks to take care of. What makes it ok is that there is a corresponding neverending list of podcasts I have yet to listen to. I hate that feeling when you have burned through a series that you love Hello ‘Reply All’ and are staring into the listener’s abyss. But something new always comes along. Here are my current top five listens right now:
- Too Scary Didn’t Watch (Spotify) When I started listening to this show at the start of lockdown, I was definitely in the category of too scared to watch horror movies. But now, I can actually enjoy them. I love the girls who make this show, and they somehow manage to keep it interesting every week.
- Darknet Diaries (Spotify) Incredible stories from the world of internet security by Jack Rhysider. Required listening for late night drives up New England and back.
- Even The Rich (especially #FreeBritney) (Wondery) I had a lot of sympathy for Britney after listening to this. I was never a fan, but sometimes I listen to random new stuff out of pure curiosity and learn some thangs.
- Reply All (Spotify) Genius, I love this podcast so much. I just wish it came out every week. I realize greatness takes time. But still.
- Grounded with Louis Theroux (BBC Sounds) Louis Theroux is that guy you wish you were friends with who makes any guest feel welcome and interesting. A random selection of guests from George O’Dowd to UK reality TV stars I have never heard of keeps it fresh for me. Also, my son was impressed I knew who KSI was after he was featured on season 1 of the show.
