I’m not really a big podcast person but I’ve heard they’re good to listen to while working/commuting. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I find The Moth really great storytelling when I want an immersive experience. But a podcast like Stuff They Don't Want You to Know is fantastic in the background when working. Casefile is my all time favourite if you're into true crime podcasts.

Thank you!! Love a good background noise while working. Will check them out.

If you like comedy and staying up to date with what’s happening in society in a hilarious way then “Flagrant 2” Is a great podcast with many guest.

I also second Joe Rogan

I listen to Breaking Points religiously. It's a political podcast with hosts from the left and the right who discuss what's going on in contemporary politics. If politics is really not your thing, I also love Dough Boys, a comedy podcast that reviews fast food restaurants. Both are super popular!

Thank you! I’m not sure if a political podcast would make me want to work harder or depress me into not wanting to do anything 😂

Crime junkies, counter clockwise. Murder cases been listening to them for last few years. Some great stories easy to listen. Smooth voices also “the deck”

Thank you for sharing! Crime could be a nice distraction…

Thank you!

American Filth is another humorous way to get the raunchy truth about moments in history.

Ouuuuuu! I’ll have to check it out!

Kill Tony is hilarious! And Bad Friends for comedy and Mr. Ballen for story telling about strange dark and mysterious!!!

Thank you so much for the recs!!

I Listen to Jay Shetty and when I need to destress I listen to "This is actually happening" on Wondrey and they are real stories about real people as they tell them.

I like Melissa Gorga’s On Display, The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart, Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend, Jeff Lewis Has Issues, and Armchair Expert,

Elon Musk

I listen to HGTV.

Oh this is genius! Thank you!

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….
