My Resources
Podcasts are my favorite media for consuming self-educational information. I’ve used podcasts to improve English, to learn Spanish from scratch, and to get better in management, among many other things.
In addition to the most obvious advantage of podcasting — on-demand and on-the-go access to the content — I find immense value in not having to use my eyes and being able to do other things (like running or cooking) while absorbing useful information.
On this page I list podcasts that I’ve been subscribed to by areas of interest. I’m very grateful to all people involved in creation and production of these shows for doing such a great work and for sharing it with the world for free.
