For years, I have listened to podcasts while on my long runs (or in the car, or cleaning the house, or…).<\/p>\n

What’s a podcast?\u00a0 Think of it as… a downloadable radio show.\u00a0 No need to listen to it live or have a paid subscription anywhere.\u00a0 You just download and go!\u00a0\u00a0 If you need more information on how to download podcasts, I’d recommend asking Google, since the details vary based on what device you’re using.\u00a0 Instead, I’m going to tell you about the top three podcasts currently playing through my earbuds.<\/p>\n

Serial<\/a> – I first heard about this podcast thanks to Entertainment Weekly.\u00a0 Serial is a podcast by the same people who do This American Life.\u00a0 They take a non-fiction story and tell parts of it week by week, much like the serialized stories of old.\u00a0 This isn’t like reading a chapter of a book each week though.\u00a0 It’s much, much more than that.\u00a0 The current story is about a murder from 1999.\u00a0 The author is going through all sorts of old testimony and transcripts, reviewing maps and other information, and holding new interviews.\u00a0 And it can all be heard on the podcast.\u00a0 The 6th episode comes out this week, and I can’t wait to find out what happens next.\u00a0 Note that you really need to listen to this podcast in order, but thankfully, all of the old episodes are available.<\/p>\n

Stuff You Missed in History Class<\/a> – A production of HowStuffWorks.com, this podcast takes you through all sorts of historical events, probably ones you don’t know too much about.\u00a0 From battles to interesting characters to disappearing ships, this one has something for everyone.\u00a0 The podcast has been on for years, so there are hundreds of back episodes for you to check out and download.\u00a0 I listened to way too many episodes of this podcast while painting my closet back in July.\u00a0 Each episode stands alone, so if there’s a subject you’re just not into, you can skip over it without any trouble.<\/p>\n

Sawbones: A Marital Tour of Misguided History<\/a> – I found Sawbones through Stuff You Missed in History.\u00a0 A doctor and her husband dig through history and discuss some of the ridiculous ways we tried to fix ourselves when sick or injured.\u00a0 This one is always entertaining, though I struggled to make it through the cataracts episode.\u00a0 I’m normally not squeamish, but ick.\u00a0 I’m not sure what my favorite episode has been so far, but the pregnancy tests one was pretty good, as was the one on self-surgery.\u00a0 It’s amazing the human race is still around.<\/p>\n

Those are my big ones right now.\u00a0 Not your cup of tea?\u00a0 No problem!\u00a0 There are podcasts about everything!\u00a0 Running, triathlon, tv shows, current events, games, movies, the list goes on and on.<\/p>\n

What podcasts are you currently listening to?\u00a0 I’m always up to download something new.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
