Before my knee gave up the ghost, I used to go out jogging. Running would be pushing it. Jogging / walking would be more accurate.
I miss it. I miss the selfish "me time".
I also miss listening to Podcasts. I have tried the "ZombieRun" app. And listening to music through the excellent "Alan Partridge" app. But for me, I like a Podcast. Actually, I like a load of them.
Here are five you may like - or you may not.
In no particular order...
Friday Night Comedy - either "The Now Show" or Sandy's quiz. Half an hour of topical comedy.
Good Job Brain - a group of American quiz buffs who ask each other questions on a theme or, every five episodes, An all quiz bonanza. My favourite character is Elvis. (Although, he is not on a par with Steve Wright's "Ask Elvis". Uh huh.)
The Bugle - Andy Z and John Oliver poke irreverent fun at the news across both America and the UK. Long running and properly funny at times. Andy's "pun runs" will either leave you rolling is in the aisles or running for the hills.
Star Talk Radio - my "in" to astro physics with an American astro-physicist and a comedian. Hmm... Sounds a bit like...
The Infinite Monkey Cage - Robin Ince and Prof Brian Cox. Funny. Intelligent. Accessible. If I could make my kids listen to it, I would!
Today's question: what can YOU recommend for me to listen to?
Take a look at my list of podcasts - I can just about listen to them all in a week!

How do you find the time? Maybe if you had a "proper job" you wouldn't...?

On this app, your comment came with no context!
Luckily, I sometimes use my powers for good; you have the time to listen to loads of podcasts cos you have no children YET.
😃
Hope the blog is easier to read now I've played with the html coding. #kindstranger
