The podcasts I listen to at the moment

I’ve seen people asking for – and sharing – recommendations for podcasts to listen to, so I thought I would chuck mine into the mix. This is simply a list of what I listen to, although I treat them more like a magazine so I flick through and don’t necessarily listen to every single episode of every podcast (although I do for some). Here goes:
Business
I’m curating a list of the podcasts I listen to, starting with @thepitchshow from @Gimletmedia – 'Where real entrepreneurs pitch to real investors—for real money’

In-depth and insightful https://t.co/RVmDfuJfkX
The Rebel Rising podcast from @DrMichelleMazur (and the 3 Word Rebellion book) is what helped me figure out how to articulate what I actually do, and the reason why I now talk about Empowering True Strength! https://t.co/nNbURBpnzK

Entertainment
The ‘Friday Night Comedy' Podcast from BBC Radio 4 is – for me – a real source of giggles. Much-needed at the moment. https://t.co/FiQeuxI1kc

The only podcast I pay for is @TheAnfieldWrap – all about @LFC – worth every penny and it helps me be a better fan (and a better scouser!): https://t.co/OOJgZAbMLT

Grief
No new episodes at the moment, but there's a huge back-catalogue of @thegriefcast – ‘a podcast that examines the human experience of grief and death – but with comedians, so it’s cheerier than it sounds’. Helped me loads. https://t.co/qfJONCtICw
