Today I thought I would share the 10 best podcasts I listen to. I have invested hundreds of hours of my time in listening to these incredible experts.
Before I get into the top 10 - actually its 13 - I thought I would explain how to listen to a podcast for those that have never listened to one before.
What are podcasts and how do you listen to them?
What is a podcast? Essentially it is an audio show similar to a radio station. Anyone can create a podcast and upload their audio files to iTunes or Android Play. Your audience can subscribe to your podcast channel and every time there is a new episode it is downloaded onto your phone and ready and waiting for you to listen.
There are a number of different ways you can listen to podcasts. The app you use to listen to them is called a podcatcher. Everyone with an iPhone has the podcast app already on them phone. However there are other apps that users rate such as: Pocket Casts, Overcasts, Stitcher Radio
To start listening - all you have to do is open the Podcast app of your choice. Select search and start looking for podcasts on the topics you are interested in. It is too easy.
You can listen to podcasts when you are driving, going for a walk, cleaning the house, lying in bed. Podcasts help you to claim back dead time. You can make use of this time by investing it into your own self development. My favourite times to learn to podcasts are when I am on long drives, doing the ironing or on my daily walk.
