My favourite podcasts from 2014:

I'm sure by know you know what a podcast is. It's one of the best ways to pass time. Podcasts can be listened to in the gym, in the supermakret, before sleeping, or even on the way to work. Basically, podcasts are for everyone.

During 2014, many podcasts have started. It's an awesome way to make money, because the competition is not so great. Because there are so many podcasts, it's difficult to say that I have listened to them all. Out of all the podcasts that I have listened to, these are my favourites from 2014. All of these podcasts can be found in the Apple Podcast Store. 

1) Ear biscuits:
This podcast is brought to you by comedy duo internetainers, Rhett and Link. I prefer listening to podcasts with two people, because they are usually more entertaining, and you don't get sick of hearing only one person's voice. Rhett and Link interview internet celebrities, such as themselves, and go into all the nooks and crannies that are often never brought up by these celebrities. Often, things get quite intense. Their podcasts range from 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours.

2) Good Mythical Morning:
This might sound biased, but Rhett and Link also created this podcast. Their work is extremely entertaining, and I can't stop listening to their podcasts. Every weekday, Rhett and Link release an episode of "GMM". They believe that occasionally the news gets too sad and depressing, so they discuss topics that will brighten your day, for example: World Record Fails. As depressing as this episode might sound, it was hilarious. Their iTunes podcast only features a few of their episodes. To see the daily show, go over to YouTube and subscribe for daily episodes.

3) Hello Internet:
Brady Haran and CGP Grey are responsible for this podcast. Their names might sound familiar, that's because they manage the YouTube channel "Numberphile". They release episodes once every two weeks. They are often quite lengthy, between 1 1/2 and 2 hours. I find their podcasts extremely entertaining. They discuss multiple topics in each episode, so you're bound to not get bored.

4) TLDR:
The creator of this podcast took the common abbreviation of "Too Long, Didn't Read" and turned it into "The Lockergnome Digital Report". His name is Chris Pirillo, and his business is called Lockergnome. For 30 minutes every weekday, he releases an episode featuring geeky news, geeky gadgets and other cool stuff. 

5) Serial:
This is a One-of-a-Kind podcast. A women tells us the story of how she investigated a case in which a schoolgirl went missing. A few weeks later, the schoolgirl's body was found, with signs of manual strangulation. Every episode reveals a new clue that will eventually lead us to who the murderer is. If you want to start off with podcasts, this is one of the best ways to start.

I hope you enjoyed this list of podcasts. Be sure to check them out if you have some time. And if you are just getting started in the world of podcasts, all the best to you. 



Thank you for the supoort this year. It's been hectic keeping up with the deadlines, but in the end, I'm satisfied with the result. This is the last day of 2014, so I decided to go a little off schedule and release a blog post. However things will return to normal after this. If you want to read more posts, a new post will be up on Friday at 17:00 GMT +2. Happy holidays and New Year.
