Where do I find podcasts to listen to?

Where do I find podcasts to listen to?

I was confused too. I knew about Spotify or Apply Music, and I knew that some podcasts had their own websites too; but I didn't even know what to search. Thinking of death scrolling through pages of results for "you should listen to this podcast" -type results was not high on my priority list. But I wasn't sure how to narrow down my search parameters either. There are so many different genres and options. What mood was I even in to want to listen to informal talks or in-depth analysis of some more meaningful topic? All of it became less appealing the more I thought about it. Crazier still, I grew up listening to talk radio. To me it all seemed like it was a pointless endeavor with minimal differences, until I got into the podcasting community. The more exposure I got and the more people who I got to know, I learned that the options to access podcasts are limited. Websites, dedicated streaming services, and that's about it. I started with Spotify. I looked into Audible. I was already listening to audio books anyway. And then I found out that there are dozens of streaming-dedicated websites, or specifically oriented podcast websites like TransactingValuePodcast.com. If the show is appealing enough to me, I'll go to the website, otherwise I prefer to listen to them now without visiting. I visit them when the internet gods prod me their direction. The digital Poseidon that guides my networking ship through the waves of the cybersea pings through SEO keywords, but I just sit back and enjoy the ride. I love seeing how many speakers plug each other's podcasts, like #CommunicationTwentyFourSeven or #HowtoTradeIt. I find new shows through the "Related Shows" links on occasion too.

No matter how you find your podcasts, survival takes communication. Welcome to the team!

I spent decades lost, confused and overwhelmed trying to figure out how to integrate into society and within my sphere of influence. I grew up in a split household.

I got bullied and learned material that I’ve since forgotten, or learned more about people than academics. I joined the Marine Corps, and became a divorced, long-distanced father. Even when I was physically present, I spent more time staring at walls and listening to my own demons more than growing with my son.

I’m learning increased physical distance does not have to decrease capable influence. I’m learning who I am among some of the most knuckle-dragging, supportive bunch of people that I’d stand by any day of the week.

It may feel like you’re going through life alone; you’re not. We’re all growing through life together, skull-dragging one day at a time and getting stronger for it.
