4 Podcasts You Should Be Listening To…Other Than Serial

Did y’all hear the good news?! Serial (the podcast) is coming back for not one, but TWO new seasons this fall! If you’ve listened to the first season, you know that this is about the best news to come out of 2015 so far. If you haven’t listened, go now. Now I say!

702parkproject - 4 podcasts

Since I spend 2 hours a day commuting on a little back road in rural NC, I have plenty of free time in the car. And listening to the same songs can get old pretty quick. So a while back, I started listening to podcasts. I started with Serial after seeing rave reviews on several blogs I follow, and I ended up listening to the entire season in about 3 days. It was addictive, and I was probably more bummed than I should have been when the season ended.

So I decided to look into this podcast thing. What is a podcast you ask? Well, it’s basically like a radio show that you can download and listen to any time you want. Since I’ve been working on a little side business, I’ve been really interested in blogs, articles, podcasts, and Pinterest accounts that are all about giving entrepreneurs a boost of confidence and a dose of know-how.

Here are my 4 favorites. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! (Side note: If you’re not sure how to listen to a podcast, find out here.)

  1. Glad I found this post! I’m a big fan of audiobooks and podcasts and have been looking for some more business based ones to follow. My audio guilty pleasure recently has been anything chicklit based, it’s like listening to a romcom when I’m at the gym!
