Favorite Podcasts

When I need to make dozens of zip pouches or print hundreds of glasses at work... PODCASTS to the rescue!

I need to do an update to the last post, how we are saving money on our food bill. It is going well but I still have to run the numbers and get a post going....

In the mean time I had a request for a post about PODCASTS

Most weekdays I listen to 1-2 hrs of podcasts. I listen while running, cleaning, tasks at work, commuting. I find they make any repetitive task 100% more enjoyable. A podcast and the dishes, hells ya! Torrey prefers watching the Office on the iPad while doing the dishes, to each his own. I find I am more apt to stay on task when I want to hear what comes next. I LOVE podcasts. I rarely listen to music or audiobooks anymore.

So here are my favorites separated by topic, I have listened to all of these at some point. I tend to go through phases with different topics, right now its personal finance and happiness. I also tend to listen to shows I can jump into anytime rather than storylines, like Serial and S-Town, though those are both great options as well. There are so many more out there of course, so feel free to recommend your favorites in the comments!

The links go to the website connected to the podcast, a good resource if you would rather read than listen. If you want to figure out how to even play podcasts on your phone or computer go here.
