Happy Sunday lovely readers. Now I have a question – what do you do to make the most of your commute to and from work? Chat with friends (hands free of course)? Argue with talk back radio? Harmonise with the Bieb? If your a public transport queen, are you trawling Instagram? Playing solitaire? Reading? To while away my commute I loved to play Backgammon on my mobile device – until I discovered podcasts!
Grammar Girl, Good Job BRAIN, Stuff You Should Know, Stuff to Blow Your Mind, We Have Concerns, Serial, WTF, My Dad Wrote a Porno, (Hilarious!), The Dinner Party Download. The list goes on! Head phones in, 20 minute verbal mind snacks, screen stare replaced with window view – heaven. Podcasts can be entertaining, interesting, inspiring – and they don’t require data! Every now and then I even tap into a serious fix of working girl motivation. Nothing like them for starting the day on a positive note!
Girls, here’s a pick of the latest, greatest, best podcasts for women. Upload ‘Casts’ or similar app, down load these babies and you’ll be enjoying your commute just that little bit more.
