There’s no doubt that podcasts are having a moment. At its Apple Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this year, the tech giant confirmed there are over 550,000 options available in its iTunes Store, with the number of episodes running into the tens of millions.
It’s not hard to understand why podcasts are so popular. They’re a great way to indulge your hobbies, learn new things on the go, escape from reality and put your multi-tasking skills to the test. Whether you’re looking for content that’s funny, entertaining, informative or motivational, podcasts can cover everything from sport and the arts to current affairs and finance.
