I was such a latecomer to podcasts but I am now desperately trying to make up for lost time. They are a great thing to have on the background while I’m working: it can be quite a lonely existence being a freelancer and I really enjoy having people nattering away in the background when I’m working alone in my flat. So I’ve picked the 5 best podcasts to listen to now, and I tried to pick a range of themes and subjects so hopefully there’s something here for everyone. Don’t forget to let me know your podcast recommendations in the comments below!
