4 Podcast tips – May 2020

Posted on May 18, 2020July 6, 2023

As you might know, I am currently working about 50 hours a week. This is the reason I stopped doing my weekly diaries on this blog (which will resume on 1st of August, don’t worry!). I have a production job, so a lot of hours I am doing the same thing over and over again. That might seem boring, but my boss allows us to have headphones (in one ear preferable haha). And so, I have been listening to a loooot of podcasts episodes over the past two months. Today I want to share my favorites with you. Here are 4 podcast tips (from May 2020) that I currently love.

Education

I mostly listen to podcasts to educate myself. About all sorts of stuff. Environmental problems, minimalism, crime, compassion, feminism, racism, money. The list is endless, and that’s exactly what I love about podcasts. There are so many subjects to cover, so much to listen to. I like to educate myself and I love to learn. That’s also why I read a lot of books. I don’t know, I just think I can be a better human when I know things. Also, I never want to stop learning. So, here are 4 of my favorite podcasts!

Ear Hustle

This is my current favorite. I have binged all the episodes since the day I discovered this podcast. Ear Hustle is a podcast made inside of a prison, the San Quentin State Prison in California, in the United States. Life in prison is extremely different from life outside. And so, it’s valuable to hear about life inside of prison. Every episodes covers a different subject, like dating in prison, the solitary confinement unit, death room, but mostly the personal stories of people inside. I think it’s amazing that they are all so open, and the hosts (Earlonne and Nigel, an incarcerated man and a volunteer in the prison) are amazing! I think this is a good podcasts for compassion. People outside sometimes forget that incarcerated people are also just people. They have stories to tell!

Podcast Recommendations

Motherhood Sessions

This is therapy podcast. Motherhood Sessions takes you inside the office of Alexandra Sacks. All sessions are about motherhood, but it’s amazing how many aspects just that one subject has! Whether you’re a mom or not, I think this podcast is for everyone. I’d maybe say that this show is also about compassion, because being a mom is hard. And this show makes you realize that. I love how some shallow-seeming conversations turn into really deep stories about someone’s personality or past. And for all the moms out there, I think this can help to relate to other moms. To not feel alone or different, all moms face problems. And just maybe, this show might make you appreciate and love your own mom even more.

Podcast recommendations

The Minimalists

I have shared more about The Minimalists before, I recommended their film and podcast already and have also written a post about their book. However, it is one of favorites and so I am sharing it again today. The podcasts has an immense number of episodes and I have not listed to all of them yet. But I love it already! Josh and Ryan cover a different subject every episodes and they keep surprising me. Minimalism is seriously related to soooo many aspects of life, maybe all! It’s a lifestyle.

Podcast Tips

Live Planted

Live Planted is a podcast all about practical veganism. That might seem like it’s a niche, but I feel like Alyssa (and in first episodes second host Sarah) covers it all. She shares the facts, in the first episodes I learned a lot of facts to keep confident in veganism (an example, a fish takes 15 minutes to die, it chokes). What I do it for. But she always shares personal stories and a lot of how-to’s. How to got out for dinner when you’re vegan, how to deal with friends an family, how to make vegan friends. As I said, it’s all about practical veganism!

Podcast tips

I personally listen to all these podcasts on The Podcast App, but I think you can also listen on Spotify or the websites of any of these podcasts. I am seriously considering becoming a financial supporter, since I get a lot of value out of these podcasts. And I don’t think a profession like this should be unpaid.

These were 4 podcast tips (in May 2020), my current favorites. What do you think?

Yours sincerely,
Romee

On this blog you can follow my journey to a life with only positive impact. At this blog you can find all sorts of things, from tips to recipes to personal experiences, but most of all fun (I hope!). I write about how I want to change the world, but don’t look at it as if I’m judging you.

Dit is hoe ik met de trein van Krásná Lípa (🇨🇿) naar Bratislava (🇸🇰) reisde. Dit was reisdag 3/6 van onze duurzame interrail reis. Ik ben vandaag 25 jaar geworden 🥳. Ik hoop heel hard dat dat betekent dat ik ongeveer op een kwart van mijn leven ben. En wat een verjaardag is dit! Ik mag het vieren in Kopenhagen met mijn favoriete persoon @casperchristiaanse , terwijl ik met de trein door Europa reis 🚃. Ik ben een gelukkig mens. Op naar de 50! Dit is hoe ik van Dresden (🇩🇪) naar Krásná Lípa (🇨🇿) reisde. Niet een bijster lange, maar wel een prachtige treinreis, omdat je door het nationaal park Boheems Zwitserland gaat. Dit was de tweede reisdag van onze interrail (2/6). We zijn op de helft van de interrail. Terwijl ik dit typ zijn we onderweg naar Warschau (8,5 uur vanaf Bratislava). Nog twee bestemmingen te ontdekken, maar wat hebben we nu al veel genoten. Elke dag goed en lang slapen, nieuw vegan eten proberen, bijzonder lang wandelen, spelletjes spelen, weinig schermtijd, genieten van de mooie uitzichten en zon: deze reis is genieten 💜. Dit is hoe ik met de trein van Amsterdam naar Dresden reisde 🚃. De interrail is officieel begonnen! (1/6) Vandaag verschijnt er geen artikel op mijn blog. En de komende twee weken hierna ook niet. Dat is voor het eerst, in de 7 jaar dat ik schrijf. Een heel leuk onderdeel van duurzaam leven is tweedehands kleding. Hier zijn 4 tweedehands outfits die ik droeg in augustus 2023 🌞. Je zag het al in de reel van vorige week: ik ben op vakantie geweest naar Gent, in België. Het was een ontzettende aanrader, en daarom verscheen er vandaag een artikel op mijn blog over de leukste en duurzaamste hotspots in Gent 🌆. Check it out via de link in mijn bio Gent, wat was je prachtig 🌆. Dit is absolute een duurzame vakantietip (oh, maar wees niet zo naïef als ik en ga lekker met de trein 🚃). Binnenkort is op Youtube de gehele vakantievlog te bekijken.
