Podcasts
These are Apple Podcast links - which will be totally annoying for all of you non-iPhone peeps. I hope they aren’t too hard to find on your chosen platform.
Also, remember that not all of these podcasts will be a good fit for you. Feel free to be picky! Embrace the freedom to find what works for you.
