I am very excited about this segment as I listen to podcasts daily! The accessibility of podcasts is what makes them brilliant. They are cheap to make, free to upload, and listeners can enjoy them at home, during their commute, as part of their exercise routine, and even at work. The vast range of subject matter means that there is something to fill every niche that you have never heard of. There are some great educational podcasts available and in the past. I have listened to individual episodes of podcasts that discussed library work and digital humanities. However, my current favourite podcast is Stuff You Missed in History Class. This podcast is fairly self-explanatory, every week, two hosts cover obscure historical topics. Some episodes focus on more humorous topics, like accidental discoveries. Other episodes point to a more serious issue in how we view history through writing out women, people of colour, and LGBTQ+ people. Although this podcast is not necessarily related to my job, it is important for everyone to continually educate themselves and challenge their own perspectives.
