What's a podcast and how do I listen to one? As quoted by one podcaster: "A podcast is like a radio show that comes to your ears via the internet. " It's not "live" so you can download and listen at your convenience through various Apps on your phone, or listen on your computer through the web site. Here's a tutorial on how to listen on your phone.
What should you listen to? You decide! There are So. Many. Choices. There are podcasts that are educational, thought provoking, entertaining, some that will open your mind to new ideas, some are simply poetic, and some are just addicting! Google "best podcasts of 2019" or "favorite faith based podcasts" I've recommended a few in various past newsletters (linked on Facebook over the past few months) and here are a few I've enjoyed.
