Do you listen to any podcasts?
My love for Ted Lasso made me start listening to Brett Goldstein's (Roy Kent) podcast called Films to Be Buried With. The concept is that he invites a friend to come over, he tells them they've died, but the good news is that heaven is really film obsessed and want to know about films that were important in their (the friends) life. He asks them about the first film they remember seeing, the film they've watched the most, the film that made them laugh the most, the film that made them cry the most, the sexiest film they've ever seen, their favorite film, and then they have to pick one movie to take to heaven with them. Sometimes the accents are challenging, but I've been enjoying this podcast immensely.

I subscribe to a few podcasts, but as I generally only have time to listen to them when I go to bed at night, I end up sleeping right through them 😄 I listen to a Coronation Street podcast that’s presented by an English couple who have been doing the podcast for about ten years. I don’t generally have trouble with their accents, but if I do, I slow it down to half-speed so I can properly hear what they are saying. Added bonus is that they sound drunk, which is hilarious I also listen to You’re Wrong About, Spectacular Vernacular, and Darknet Diaries. I used to listen to Radiolab, which is fascinating, but there are so many eps that I can never get caught up.

I have a few. Mostly ones for dog trainers that I will assume no one else is interested in.
My favourite non-dog one is Under the Influence, about marketing and advertising. It's a CBC show that's been on for many years.

Oh, that’s a good one, Nansel. I sometimes catch the show on a weekend if I’m driving somewhere and have CBC on in the car. White Coat, Black Art is another good show.

I find it difficult to get into podcasts. Probably because I'm usually on the desktop PC. Maybe if I was relaxing doing a puzzle downstairs or something, I'd put one on and listen. Or DH and I would listen in the truck on long trips.

Forgot about White Coat Black Art. Love that one. I often catch it live, but I should download some episodes. I might be interested in dog training podcasts. I can always use more information on that front! One I would suggest for owners is Positively Podcasts by Victoria Stillwell. Lots of varied doggy topics.
My favourites are pretty training-nerdy - The Bitey End of the Dog by Michael Shikashio, Drinking From the Toilet by Hannah Brannigan. I find it difficult to get into podcasts. Probably because I'm usually on the desktop PC. Maybe if I was relaxing doing a puzzle downstairs or something, I'd put one on and listen. Or DH and I would listen in the truck on long trips. I listen while driving, or doing housework. So basically when my hands and eyes are busy, but my brain is free!

Or DH and I would listen in the truck on long trips. I was in the same boat, and at my previous job, my 2 mile commute was not conducive. But now I am rehearsing both with my acappella group and my choir, so those are both longer drives, and my job is about a 15 minute commute 3x a week, so I have some time to listen. Choir has rehearsal once a week and singing at the service at least once a week, and that's about a 35 minute commute.

I listen to podcasts (or audio books) while I walk. 10K steps a day gives me a lot of time to listen. I have a crazy long and eclectic list of pods I listen to (usually at 1.3x speed).
