My Favorite Podcasts to Listen To

Because of the nature of my work (sewing all day) I've found that putting on a pair of headphones and listening to podcasts is a great way to help me stay focused. Whether I'm in the mood to learn something, hear an interesting true story, or just be entertained, there is a podcast for that.
I've compiled a list of my favorite podcasts that I enjoy listening to. If you're not familiar with them, podcasts are audio shows you can subscribe and listen to on your smartphone. I've organized them into five lists:

I hope you find at least one that you like! In my experience, once you get into them, there is a never ending rabbit hole of options. And you don't need to be self employed or work from home to enjoy them! You can listen to them on the bus, on your morning commute, in the kitchen while cooking, with a friend on a road trip, or even on a Saturday morning while cleaning the house!
