Podcast Addictions are my opinions on some of the podcasts to which I listen or have listened. I am in no way incentivized for these posts so you can be sure they are my true opinions. For my very first "podcast addiction" post I chose a podcast I have listened to since its infancy and I have continued to find interesting. Imagined Life is a Wondery production. I have listened to many of the Wondery productions and they have never let me down. Wondery produces high-quality podcast. You won't fully appreciate the superiority until you have listened to a poor-quality podcast.
Imagined
Life highlights the life events of someone famous in each podcast. This podcast
series is made unique by the mystery factor. You aren’t told whose life you are
learning about until the very end of the story.
Each broadcast is about an hour long with numerous clues. I enjoy the
challenge of trying to figure out “who I am” before the end of the story. More often
than not I don’t come up with the correct answer until it is divulged by the
host. Aside
from the challenge I find many of these stories inspirational. It is nice to
know that most everyone has struggled at some point in their life and many
still have themselves very productive in society. The topic characters include
authors, leaders, musicians, actors, inventors and a variety of others. If you enjoy biographies and a challenge subscribe to Imagined Life. It will not disappoint. If you want to find out a little more check out the Wondery website here. Enjoy, Jessie
I never would have guessed I would become one of those podcast loving people. BUT a few years back a coworker suggest I listen to a popular podcast. It was an interesting story and he was sure I would be intrigued. On average I spend at least an hour daily in my car so I thought...why not. What else am I going to do while I drive, concentrate on driving? And my friends that's all it took! After I finished that first podcast I was hooked. Surprisingly, I'm not addicted to a specific genre. There are several different genres to which I subscribe and listen to on a regular basis. Although I must admit I am drawn to the serial true crime podcasts. For those of you with little podcast exposure, a serial podcast is a series of chronological podcasts that tell a story. It's almost like reading a chapter book. My iPhone connects to my car via bluetooth making listening so convenient. Because I am using my iPhone I am currently using the Apple podcast app. Any podcast I might suggest should be available there. I have, however, found that most podcasts are available on multiple streaming services. I currently have no opinion of which is better. I merely use what is available and convenient for me. Over the years I have listened to many different podcast and I find myself regularly looking for new options. So I was thinking I have an opinion! Why not share my opinion with my fellow bloggers, just in case you all are interested. The goal is to write a detailed post about a podcast I am listening to on a regular basis. I will receive nothing from any of these podcasters so the opinions will be true and raw. By the way, that very first podcast that was suggested to me was S-Town. My coworker was correct, it is intriguing. Later I will do a more in-depth post about S-Town. For now if you are thinking of giving podcasts a try and you enjoy true crime check it out. But be aware you will likely become hooked. Toodles, Jessie
