5 Favorite Podcasts

These 5 podcasts make me laugh, think, or just generally form a part of most of my days. So if you're looking for something new to listen to, here are some recommendations.

These are listed alphabetically:

A Slob Comes Clean

In this podcast, Noni shares practical information about cleaning and organising. Not the "you love cleaning so why don't you spend ten hours labelling your foods" kind of organizing, but "I know I need to keep organised but I don't see the difference between a mess and a clean house until it's way too late" organizing.

While I am great at things like time management and planning activities and meeting deadlines, I'm not so great at other things like doing dishes every day or putting my laundry away. Noni helped with some simple routines that make life not only less messy, but more enjoyable!

Office Ladies

This is a "The Office" rewatch podcast featuring Jenna Fisher, who played Pam Beesley, and Angela Kinsey, who played Angela Martin. They basically just watch the show and share their memories, sometimes adding very special guests for interviews and fun anecdotes. I have sent in a couple of questions about some of my favorite "The Office" episodes, so I suppose we'll see if they ever get answered.

Also, if you haven't seen the show "the Office", I would recommend it.

Ologies

This podcast with Alie Ward is an interview-based science podcast. Every week, Alie invites a scientist from a specific field (vulcanology, molecular biology, behavioral psychology, and so on) and gets answers that are not just interesting and enriching for all those life-long learners, but also quite funny and often make a lot of sense in real life.

Potterless

This is the story of Mike Schubert, a twenty-something man who embarks on a journey of reading Harry Potter for the first time. He shares his theories about what is going to happen, who the bad guys are, who will live and who will die, and to people who have read the series his theories are rather entertaining. But even non-Potter fans will enjoy this comedy podcast because Mike is just very simply funny. I have to admit I no longer listen to this podcast, I stopped after he finished the movies because I'm not that into the other Potter work, but I would still heartily recommend it to others.

Serial

I'm currently just finished with season 1, becaus

e it's a true crime podcast and I'm a happy person and can't take too much of that at one time. Serial is actually a rather old podcast, it started in 2014 and the first season follows Adnan Syed, who was convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend, maintaining his original statement that he was innocent. While the podcast doesn't offer much insight into whether or not Adnan is in fact guilty, similarly to the Netflix show "Making of a murderer", the podcast guides listeners through the case, flagging the various problems in the state's case.
