Hi, here's some great podcasts I listen to on Spotify I thought I'd share:

Podcast for mental health/general life struggles is Dr Thema: The homecoming podcast. Fantastic, one of the reasons I started using spotify. Theres a few directly about mental health that I listened to when I can't sleep. There's also a great Mothers Day episode with her mother on that's very inspiring.

A few fun podcasts are Brooke and Linda's Dreamclub. They're friends who used to work on Triple J and do a weekly review on what's happening around the world.

The friendship onion is Billy and Dom or Pippin and Merry from Lord of the Rings. A very chilled pod that has LoTR involved guest stars sometimes like Stephan Colbert or Elijah Wood.

Sentimental Garbage looks at favourite 'chick lit' books, then a mini pod on Sex and the City, and now a new season on trashy stuff people love. I started reading a few books theyve talked about and found new favourite authors like Jill Mansell. Caroline and Dolly Alderton on the mini pod are also authors and I read their books too, highly recommend Dollys's first book 'Everything I need to know about love'.

Bang On, another weekly review with ex Triple J hosts, but its like theyre your favourite aunties.

Ghosts of Boyfriends Past, dating stories that have me laughing in the street as I listen. I do tend to skip the trigger warning ones.

The Big Film Buffet, a movie review. I listened to season 2 and found some good movies like Concert Cowboy (urban cowboys with Idris Elba) and Resort to Love (cheesy but cute rom com).

What are your favourite podcasts anyone? These are the main ones Ive listened to this year.

Re: Podcast recommendations

Thank you for sharing, I look forward to checking them out. 🙂

If you are interested in something spiritual/ psychological I love 'Insights at the edge' - Tami interviews different 'experts'/ writers etc on topics and I've come across some really helpful stuff.

I also got a lot out of listening to some of the 'Beyond Blue - Not alone' podcasts.

Neither of the above are 'light' though, so probably not perfect for the current times.
