Mountainous Plethora of Music and Podcasts DAY 19/31 March SOL – Hannah's Happenings!
I have been listening to podcasts on my phone for a little over a year now, and I love it! I found some favorite podcasts, but am always looking for more. This past week, I added a bunch of new series including “How I Built This” and “Fresh Air” – some of my regular shows also came back from having a break, so I have WAY more than I can listen to at the moment! I always love the amount of choice from having lots of different topics, such as music vs. talk shows or politics.
HOWEVER, it can be quite overwhelming when I’m trying to catch up on them all. I often listen to my podcasts when I’m out driving and sometimes while doing housework. But it is usually only for about 30 minutes at a time. With the new ones plus the podcasts I already had, I probably have 5-10 of EACH show (and there are about 10-12 shows that I listen to throughout my week). It will be fun trying to get through them all without putting any on the back-burner for too long!
I also just learned that Apple Music has a feature that chooses songs/artists for you daily, based on your favorite genres – this means, I have about 10 of those songs added into the already IMMENSE list of songs for March! I am a huge lover of music, but narrowing this month down to only 12 is going to be a challenge that I am not particularly looking forward to. It will make a fun ending post for the March SOL though (already a poem idea sparked while writing this)!
I use media monkey – I got frustrated by iTunes ruining my playlists every time I switched computers! And my phone can help hold about 5 GB music (which is almost full already!) I pick and choose artists and will eventually take some of last years playlists off. Thanks!!
For Throwback Thursday this week, I opened the page of my posts and just scrolled until I had counted to 10 about 8 times. My thumb stopped on this one about podcasts! Most of this is still accurate, but I am listening to different podcasts than I was wen I wrote this post. It is important to change it up if the content or style becomes to familiar. I am also no longer listening to Apple Music (just some music podcasts and my own artists). Enjoy re-reading this post! Please give comments on what you thought! Do you listen to podcasts? What are your fsvorites?
