My Podcast Playlist
I have a secret.
I’m part of a podcast club.
Four women who meet each month to discuss several podcast episodes, all based on a theme. This has been one of my favourite things so far about 2018. Similar to the experience of a book club, we’ve made space for some interesting conversation, the chance to open up to new ideas, and created an excuse to catch up at least once a month. We’ve covered themes like tarot cards, true crime, storytelling, cults, and sports.
I love podcasts for so many reasons. The first is that it’s an easy form of media to consume. I tune into podcasts while I’m commuting, cleaning, and cooking. For my brain, the multitasking nature of podcasts really works for me. Second, podcasts are educational. I have learned more from podcasts in the past 5 years than I have from anything else. When I’m curious about something, I seek out a podcast about it. I’ve devoured episodes about nutrition, goal setting, coaching, and random things like expeditions to the North Pole. For anyone who knows me, most of my sentences start with “I listened to a podcast about this…”
And last, I love podcasts because they’re audio art. Once you’ve listened to enough, it becomes clear who is a master storyteller. From the production, sound effects, editing, and theme. I love the beauty of a perfectly crafted episode. I know it’s been a good one when I totally lose myself in it and stop thinking about the details of what I’m doing.
I always have a ton of podcasts on the go and would love to share my top picks with you. Click below to download my podcast playlist and get access to my 10 Favourites + my top episode for each.
And if you don’t already know, I’ve now had the chance to fulfill my dream and join two podcasts as a guest. Both times I tried to keep my excitement to a minimum, but you can probably hear it in my voice. Check out these amazing podcasts and the episodes I was featured on!
Mindful (mostly) with Andrea Collins: How to Start Something Already
Am I Doing This Right? with Marc van Herk: Episode 1
