Over the last several months, while we were all in quarantine, I found myself getting bored and not really being motivated to do anything. Because of this, I decided to look up some podcasts on Spotify to kind of give me something to do and look forward to. Now, I havent tried listening to every single one of these, but I do plan on giving them all a try at some point down the road.

Do you ever wonder what certain things are actually made of? Really, just about every little question you could have is being answered by this podcast.

As I said before, I haven’t listened to all of these yet. There are so many more that I have found and want to listen to also. The wide range of genres above gives you a pretty good list to choose from, so I hope you end up finding something you like!
