Podcasts to listen to for a Lifestyle of Learning

Oh, hey! Remember when I said that “Next week I’ll share some of my favorite podcasts?” Well let’s pretend that I said “Next month…”, and then I’m right on time. :)

I love podcasts. I’ve talked about it before, and I’m definitely back in a season of life where they’re almost all I listen to, even before we launched our own. I already rambled about how easily accessible they are and why you should listen, so I’ll jump right in. In a minute.

I also love reading a lot of non-fiction, but sometimes there just isn’t enough time to sit and read, amiright?!  In case you didn’t read the last post about the format, I’ll recap:

1. You can listen to podcasts while you do housework, workout, drive – do just about anything. For free.
2. There are shows that are purely entertaining, and hundreds (thousands, perhaps) on any subject area in which you’d like to grow.

I have always said I’d have been a professional student if I had unlimited time and funds, but instead I have to settle for what I call a “lifestyle of learning”. Below are some of my favorite podcasts that I listen to regularly to satisfy my longing for learning without breaking the bank, as well as some of Kyle’s regular picks.  They are in alphabetical order, because that’s how I have the list I’m looking at. :)

I’ve rotated several titles in and out over time, but these are the ones that have lasted right now.

What are some of your favorites? What are you looking forward to in 2015? I think “Pitch” and “The Dinner Party Download” will make my rotation soon – they look intriguing!
