My favorite podcasts

After my last blog about reading books I received a lot of good recommendations from people to have a good list of books to read! I figured it would be good to share my list of favorite podcasts as well.

I know that in the US listening to podcasts is much more common than over in Europe, although it’s gaining a lot of interest lately and good quality content is definitely made!

As I don’t really have a commute (I work from my home office), I sometimes have trouble keeping up with the inbox of my podcast app. I also found that I can only really listen to podcasts when I can concentrate on the listening. For example when driving a car, when I’m traveling, etc. If I listen to a podcast while doing anything else, I find that I don’t really remember what was said.

App

As favorite podcast app I use: Castro (only on iOS). I’ve been using it for about 2 years now and it really brings me all the features I like:

Queue sorted the way I want (chronological or listen to certain podcasts as soon as they come out)
Per podcast speed settings
Side loading of single episodes or audio files
Auto switching dark mode
Enhanced voices
Great design
Ability to share episodes and audio snippets

I do pay for Castro Plus to get some of these features, but it’s well worth it as I use the app almost daily.
