Over the last few years I’ve become a total podcast junky.
They are perfect entertainment for a traveller.
They range from absurd, to controversial, and intensely intellectual.

Don’t know what podcasts are?
You are missing out my friend!
Podcasts are free audio entertainment that you automatically download to your phone. It’s like radio but better.
Check out the podcast tab in iTunes or download a podcast app like Podkicker Pro from the Google Play Store.

Here’s my latest list of favorite ear-bud bounty.
They’re fresh daily and free!

 

 

LORE

Spooky, creepy, grotesque, fascinating.
Lore is irresistibly weird.
If you like ghost stories and macabre legends, you’ll dig on Lore.

HEAVYWEIGHT

Jonathan Goldstein, host of Heavyweight, is a genius. He makes some of the most interesting and compelling radio around. Real people, real emotional lives. Really really funny.

HOME OF THE BRAVE

Here is a podcast that is unafraid to confront the biggest, most confusing and least popular stories in America. Inspiring.

REPLY ALL

If you think tech is boring, prepare to have your mind changed. Reply All digs into the strangest, funniest, most obscure corners of cyber space and examines the stuff most of us never notice.

SURPRISINGLY AWESOME

Concrete, insults, mattresses, pigeons…
Lots of things in the world seem ordinary. But when you dig deeper, it turns out, they’re fascinating. Surprisingly Awesome tells those stories.
If you ever wished someone would turn Wikipedia into a variety show, you’re in luck!

THE MEMORY PALACE

Stories about people, stories about society, stories about our past and how quickly we forget.
The Memory Palace looks at history through a narrative lens in a way that is fresh and engaging.
