If you aren’t listening to podcasts already, you should start. Podcasts allow you to learn something new, be entertained or connect with your favorite influencers.
The best part is that unlike blogs, books or videos, you can listen to a podcast while doing other things. It’s easy to throw on earbuds and listen to an episode while in the car, washing dishes, doing laundry, cleaning or exercising.
One of our favorite times to listen to podcasts is on a road trip. My hubby and I both load up our phones with our favorite shows, wait until the girls are sleeping or watching a show, and then push play.
So if you are new to podcasts or just looking for shows to add to your queue, here is my list of the best podcasts you should check out. I’ve included a variety of show types from business to self-improvement to health to parenting.
