Try podcasts to pass the time

A podcast is an audio program that you can listen to 'on demand' (meaning any time you'd like) on most internet-connected devices including your smartphone, tablet, computer... you can even ask Alexa to play one for you.

Most people on iPads or iPhones will use the Podcast app to listen to podcasts. If you don't have an app on your phone, tablet or computer to listen to podcasts, you can just go to the show's website and listen there. Below is a list of suggested podcasts to get you started (or to try something new)... and further below the links you will need to get listening.

Enjoy!

• The Journal; a daily news podcast from Wall Street Journal and podcast company Gimlet Media
• 31 Thoughts (by Sportsnet... for those of us that are missing the NHL)
• Freakonomics Radio has had some recent episodes covering different aspects of the pandemic
• The Dose; Dr. Brian Goldman of CBC fame offers up a weekly health news
• To take a dip into the culinary side of quarantine, listen to Samin Nosrat's new podcast Home Cooking. Samin is the delightful author of the cookbook 'Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat' which was made into a Netflix series.
• And if you want a break from the news of the day; why not take a step back into history and listen to Dolly Parton's America
