Podcasts are the new music playlist of the century. Don’t believe it? At least 112 million Americans have listened to podcasts, with 67 million listening monthly. So if you’re getting bored of your Netflix subscription or Spotify playlist, consider checking out a podcast — especially while you’re working. There’s a perfect mix of entertainment and education, and they’re completely free!
How I Built This – Interviews with entrepreneurs, innovators, and idealists about how their business began. Each episode narrates the journey and insight of following your dreams.
This American Life – The name says it all. Each episode in this podcast tells a different story, mainly in a journalistic style, but occasionally there will be a comedy routine or an essay thrown in.
RadioLab – Described as a “show about curiosity.” This podcast discusses science, philosophy, and the human experience.
TED Radio Hour – Based off of Talks given on the TED stage, each show is a recap of an interview or story from a TED talk presenter. During this time, you’ll be filled with world-changing ideas from some of the leading thinkers and doers.
Magic Lessons with Elizabeth Gilbert – You may know Elizabeth from her famous memoir Eat. Pray. Love. She’s back — but this time, it’s less about her and more about music. She speaks with artists (both amateurs and big names) about making art.
