I know that a lot of you might have some hours coming up, whether that\u2019s traveling for the holidays or some much-needed time off! So here is my updated list of the best and most gripping podcasts I\u2019ve listened to.<\/em><\/p>\n
I listen to no less than 10 hours a week of podcasts, usually nearing 15 hours. It\u2019s a real thing. Brian and I started listening to This American Life<\/em> and Slate\u2019s Political Gabfest<\/em> in 2001, when we moved to New York for our subway commutes, when the internet was a tiny little baby. Point is \u2013 we are podcast enthusiasts, more than any other medium for sure (besides design blogs, of course). Now, I\u2019m not sitting on my back porch staring at our flowers growing while listening, no, this is all while I\u2019m doing something that was once menial, but with a podcast is now enjoyable<\/strong>. This is my dog walking and doing house chores time. The hobby turned into a real habit during lockdown when Brian and I would divide up the house on Sundays and clean for four hours straight, each taking a floor (the kids also did their chores and otherwise learned to not bug us). We actually came to love this time, and it was only in the last two months that we\u2019ve hired a bi-weekly cleaning service again \u2013 not because we were self-righteously rejecting the help, but because we legit enjoyed our podcast time that much (and there is a lot of dopamine you get from completing housework).<\/p>\n
But like all media right now, there is just SO MUCH OUT THERE. I rely heavily on friends\u2019 recs and some help from my algorithm to find the best podcasts. I listen to almost every genre, but they all HAVE to be entertaining \u2013 whether it\u2019s psychology, self-help, parenting, news, culture\/society, true crime, or comedy. They HAVE to keep me entertained. This is why I feel like I\u2019m a great resource here for today\u2019s list, which is the best bingeable podcast series \u2013 i.e., the ones that you don\u2019t want to stop listening to because you have to find out how it ends. Think \u201cpage-turners\u201d and \u201cunput-down-able\u201d books. Today\u2019s list will be less about single episodes (I\u2019ll do that, too) and more 6-10 part series with a beginning and an end. Grab your laundry and a mop, because these will make your Sunday chores FLY BY.<\/p>\n
