Tbh my favourites are all either rugby or politics podcasts :lol:

For politis I'd say my favourites are the Financial Times Political Fix for serious analysis, and Political Currency with George Osborne and Ed Balls for the anecdotes.

For rugby the best ones are the fan-led ones, of which there's a left-wing one, Blood & Mud, and a right-wing one, Eggchasers, that don't like each other very much :rofl:

Ooo interesting - I for one don't usually listen unless it's about crime or science. I have some science podcasts that I'm about to listen to for school purposes. So I unfortunately don't have any recommendations but I am open to recieving any✨
I don’t really listen to podcasts or audiobooks but I guess that I might watch a podcast on YouTube sometimes.

My current favourite podcast is The Magnus Archives, which is kinda supernatural anthology horror where each of the 'monsters' represent a human fear...highly recommend!

Other than that my most listened to podcast last year was Medical Murders, I'm a biomed student so I love science-oriented true crime.

To Kill a Mockingbird on Spotify as an audiobook was comical - the accents really elevated the book imo. :smile:
I don't really listen to podcasts of audiobooks because I can never focus and prefer to read actual books instead
I don't really listen to podcasts or audiobooks since I prefer reading, but I found a neat podcast called The History of English that I've been meaning to listen to.

Walking Is Fitness gets me out the house :smile:
Sadly I don't listen to audiobooks or podcasts as my mind always wanders and I find it frustrating. I need a visual!

See that's interesting because when I zone out in front of the TV I tend to zone out of the visuals before the audio!

I actually always have subtitles on and I do think I 'read' the TV more than listen to it! I have been guilty of laughing at a joke before it's actually been said...
