Podcasts have become more and more popular over the past five years with people listening on their commute, while traveling, walking their dog or simply doing chores around the house. They are a way for people to be able to listen to something funny, insightful or learn more about topics they are interested in without having to set aside a separate amount of time to do so: multitasking at its finest.

Read the summaries and find one that sounds like something you’d be interested in. Then, the next time you’re stuck in traffic on the way to the office, give one a try.
