Though we all like to go through the day with podcast in our ears, we all listen to different shows at different times, for different reasons. Some of us like a calm, passive podcast to nod off to, while some of us prefer action and suspense to keep up vigilant during a work day.
Because there are so many ways to listen, we want to know:
What do you look for in a podcast?
Do you need a compelling host with great energy? Do you need banter and a sense of humor to keep you listening? Perhaps you feel that you need to learn something from your listening experience? Do you prefer fiction or non-fiction shows??
In case you don't know what you like quite yet, here are just a few of our favorites from different genres; some podcast charcuterie, if you will.
