Our Favorite Podcasts to Listen to While at Home

Podcasts have risen immensely in popularity over the last couple years. With a variety of lengths and topics available, listeners are bound to find one that interests them. Podcasts allow a user to have knowledge at their fingertips and help with their ability to learn new things.

I listen to podcasts for news, entertainment, or just to keep my mind occupied when driving or doing chores around the house. I like them because I feel more aware and connected to the world and culture. It helps me to get an outside perspective on life from people who live all over.

With spending more time at home comes more time to explore new mediums of communication and learning. Our team here at Populum is full of podcast listeners. We pulled together some of our favorites, spanning a variety of topics. Here is a great place to start if you are new to podcast listening. For experienced podcast listeners, check out this list for something new.
