I used to say I didn’t have time for podcasts, erroneously believing that I need to sit down and only listen to a particular show. “I can’t carve out an hour during the day to do that,” I thought.

And then a year or two(?) ago, I started coming across the simple suggestion of popping an earbud in to listen to stuff while doing things around the house. As someone who enjoys and zens out while doing dishes and cooking, it was as though suddenly I discovered a brand new world at my fingerprints. You mean I can learn something interesting WHILE doing something else I like?

We got rid of cable early on in our marriage so we’ve been into streaming and watching things from our own library for many years. When I see how much cable/satellite costs each month, I almost throw up a little in my mouth. It’s exorbitantly high and such a waste of money to us! We pay for YouTube Premium, which gets rid of pesky ads and gives us access to YouTube Music as well.

Watching and listening to independent creators and learning their views on politics, health, food, Christianity and Catholicism, homeschooling and education, parenting, the Law, the environment, etc. has opened my eyes and woken me up in a way that the mainstream/paid-for/propagandized media could not (or refused to) my whole life. I cherish all that I’ve been learning thanks to these individuals.

Anyways, this isn’t sponsored by YouTube, PocketCasts (my favorite podcast player!) or anything, but rather, I wanted to go over some of the podcast shows (in alphabetical order) that have helped shape my ever-evolving points of view with the hopes that they’ll help YOU find out something new as well. These don’t all match the ones I list in my Favorite Podcasts tag now, but I’ll be continually updating this page with more shows and that tag with future posts.

I might even list my favorite YouTube channels another time, who knows.

I’ll be adding the show’s official description next to its name as time goes on.
