Are you in a mid-week slump? Let me introduce you to a relatively new form of entertainment. Podcasts!
Podcasts are on the up-and-rising - but how many of you have gotten hook onto this hidden gem of an activity? It is like watching a movie or reading a book but without using your eyes, only your ears. It is a secondary activity that fills up your time in the best way!

Listening to a podcast that I find interesting reduces my stress while driving. I actually look forward to a traffic jam now, and my road rage have reduced significantly.

Podcasts are a life-saver during house chores like cooking and cleaning. It also helps so much with boring tasks like walking on the treadmill. Tip: it really elevates the experience when I use bluetooth earphones. You can go a whole hour without feeling bored when you have an interesting podcast to listen to.

It is a wonderful filler time during unproductive time such as while commuting or while waiting. Just make sure all your batteries are charged and your internet connection is working.

Here are some of my favourite podcasts that you can check out (available on Spotify):

Let's Not Meet (true horror)
Criminal by Phoebe Judge (rare crime stories)
Crime Junkie (true crime)
The Simple Sophisticate (beauty and style)
Punch Up The Jam (music review)
RISK! (jaw-dropping true stories)
Optimal Daily Living (self-improvement)
