Some people think it's weird, but I like to listen to podcasts when I run. For me, getting engrossed in a good story passes the time quickly, and I don't realize how tired or sore I am! (I'm just getting back into running after almost two years off. I didn't run during my pregnancy, and following the advice of my physiotherapist I took the year following my son's birth off to completely recover from my c-section. Running is hard for me these days!!)
Besides This American Life, and binging on S-Town, I'm at a bit of a loss for good podcasts. What do you recommend?
Two I do listen two are:
Criminal - this is a true crime podcast that covers a range of crime topics from grisly murders to the origins of the term 4:20. Phoebe Judge, the host of the show, guides you through ghastly tales with her soothing voice - somehow making the show seem not as sensational as it is. (The first episode of Criminal discusses the 'owl theory' from the Michael Peterson case - the subject of the insane (blowpoke!) documentary The Staircase.)
Something About The Beatles - I'm a huge Beatles fan, and if you can get through the clunky first episode, this podcast is worth a listen. Interesting and in-depth analysis of The Beatles and their songs.
If you have any good recommendations, I would love to hear them!
