If you still haven’t jumped on the podcast bandwagon, now’s the time to do it. They are (basically) commercial-free conversations that keep you both entertained during a workout or a trek to work (a major plus!) and in the know.
But even if Serial or TED Talks aren’t your thing, fortunately, there are plenty of amazing alternatives. Here, a collection of some of our favourites, from thought-provoking discussions to laugh-out-loud-on-the-train comedy, to keep you occupied.
