Podcast round-up

My energy has been particularly low over the last few weeks, and I’ve been forced back onto old favourite ways of passing the time, looking after myself and (hopefully!) rebuilding some energy reserves.

One of the things I love to do is to listen to the radio, not just live broadcasts but also some nurturing podcasts and audiobooks too.

I’ve found the radio a comforting thing since I was very small. I have a strong clear memory of sitting under a chair as a very small child listening my big brother’s transistor radio (he was away on a trip and I was missing him). The silky voices of the character in the radio play made me feel very safe.

I’ve discovered a couple of new podcasts recently:

<ul>

Audio Dharma (I particularly enjoyed this talk by author Toni Bernhard talking about her new book How to Be Sick (the next book I’m going to be buying off my wish list).

<li><a href="http://cast-on.com/">Cast on</a> (I am an occasional knitter; I find simple knitting meditative in the same way drawing can be, but these podcast are simply audio comfort food and I'm sure would appeal equally to non-knitters).</li></ul>
