There are so many podcasts out there and honestly, it can be pretty overwhelming. If you're looking for some podcasts that will educate you but also interest you, here's a list to start you off.

This podcast gives you important news updates a few times of day. The best part is the episodes are never more than 5 minutes long.

This show gives you the news updates you need in about 20 minutes with new episodes released every weekday.

If you're trying to learn French or Spanish, Duolingo has a podcast where you can listen to stories being told in your target language.

This podcast looks at everyday things or phenomenons. Every time I listen to this show, I learn something totally new.
