Between all of my commitments and all of my classes, the only break I seem to have is in the car. This makes it difficult to keep up with the news, read books, and watch movies. This is where podcasts come in. I love podcasts because I can listen to them anytime, anywhere when doing anything. From your morning car ride to the free time you don’t know what to do with, here are my top podcasts.

My Top Ten Podcasts: 

1. Wakanda Forever: The Official Black Panther Podcast – This podcast is one I absolutely love. It’s filled with actors from the movie and interviews.
2. The NPR Politics Podcast – This one is one of my favorites to keep me up to date on current politics day to day.
3. State of the World from NPR – This is my favorite to keep me up to date on international news everyday. It’s a great one to listen to in the mornings.
4. The Twilight Zone Radio Show – This is one of my favorite entertainment podcasts. It’s an old science fiction radio show that’s always a little creepy and very fun. 
5. The Psychology Podcast – This is one of my favorites to learn about psychology podcast, since it is easy to understand but still interesting. 
6. Let’s Talk About Myths, Baby! Greek & Roman Mythology Retold – This one is super fun, funny, and interesting.
7. Psychology After Dark – This one is helpful and interesting and engaging. 
8. The Korean Vegan with Joanne Molinaro – Joanne Molinaro is always really interesting to listen to and super calming.
9. Global News Podcast (BBC News) – The global news podcast is always a little long, but it is always an interesting one.
10. Learn Urdu l UrduPod101 – This podcast is always helpful when trying to learn the language. 

Top Ten Podcasts to Start Your Day With:

1. NPR News Now – This is one of my favorite news podcasts because it is quick and easy to follow.The episodes are around five minutes each, with one being released every day to keep you informed and up to date. It briefly covers the main news stories of the day.
   
2. Global News Podcast (BBC) – BBC is my favorite news source, and the global news podcast is a good way to keep up to date on global events.
3. The Headlines (The New York Times) – The headlines are around ten minutes, each a brief overview of a specific, important headline or specific news piece.
4. ABC News Update – This is another short one, around five minutes each covering the day’s news.
5. Ted Talks Daily – Ted talks are fun because they are different speakers, different topics, but it’s still interesting every day.
6. Stuff You Should Know – This podcast is honestly just fun to listen to. It’s about things you may not have thought of, but now that you mention it… what’s up with that?
7. The 7 (The Washington Post) – Every episode of the 7 is eight minutes long, with a new one each day. Each day the main news stories and breaking news that has developed since the last episode is covered, keeping you constantly up to date.
8. WSJ What’s News – These podcasts are around ten minutes, varying with each episode. It’s not one of my favorites, but that’s just because of personal preference. For anyone that is interested in news podcasts, this is a great one.
9. CNN This Morning – This is another great news podcast. However, this one doesn’t make the top of the list as each episode is 45 minutes long, making it difficult to listen to all of it.
10. The Daily (The New York Times) – The daily is like a lengthened version of The Headlines. The episodes range anywhere from thirty to ninety minutes. They do daily news, but more in depth on each story.
