After resisting for years I'm finally starting to come around to the concept of podcasts. I have a relatively short walk to work and have started listening to a podcast by a psychologist to see if I can learn any techniques for combating some pretty insistent negative mental habits.
Day one and I'm starting the day in a much better frame of mind. The thought of celebrating with a cheese scone may have something to do with that though, lol.
Oh man I remember when I first tried podcasts because I would get sleepy driving back from work. Used to listen to Joe Rogan about 6 or so years ago, and then he started having certain guests come on....
I find "Stuff You Should Know" to be quite a good one for some interesting facts :)
No such thing as a fish is the first one I tried but I'm a completionist so have to do them all from the beginning. My queue is currently a mile long but I'll add your recs to it, thanks
Podcasts are great! Also audio books.
I never got into cheese scones though. I don't know why, just not my thing I think.
You ain't never tried my mum's cheese scones 😜
I've had the best cheese scone in Wellington (says my colleagues) and it was meh, so unless your mum's cheese scones taste like cake or something then I probably still wouldn't like them that much.
They are ok, but not my thing I think.
