2018 was the year of the podcast, for me anyway. Whether it was travel related or inspiring creativity I listened to more podcasts this year than ever before.
My Favourite Podcasts of 2018
The vast majority of podcasts are free. They’re also super easy to download and play from your smartphone using app such as Podcast Republic. Active podcasts often update weekly and sometimes even daily. Episodes range in length from 10 minutes to an hour, which is perfect as I tend to listen to them during my bus journeys to and from work.
With hundreds of thousands of podcasts available it can be difficult to know what to listen to.
Ctrl Alt Delete by Emma Gannon
Emma Gannon is a columnist of COURIER magazine, a lecturer at the Condé Nast College and has been published everywhere from the Telegraph to Teen Vogue. She is also the author of two non-fiction books: Ctrl Alt Delete & The Multi-Hyphen Method.
Ctrl Alt Delete is her podcast where she discusses work, social media and careers with guests such as Lena Dunham, Gillian Anderson, Elizabeth Gilbert, Ava Duvernay and Greta Gerwig. It has now reached over 2 million downloads.
Twin Perspectives by Twins That Travel
Two of my favourite travel bloggers are Claire and Laura. (Twins That Travel) Since starting their blog in 2014 they’ve won multiple awards for their incredible writing and been nominated for a number of others. Not bad for two people who are afraid of flying.
Their podcast, Twin Perspectives carries on in the same vein as their blog – full of humour and beautiful storytelling, covering their experiences of destinations and more personal musings on everything from travelling with anxiety to life as an identical (adult) twin.
The Travelust Podcast by Sam Sparrow
Sam is another of my favourite travel bloggers. She describes herself as “a wannabe professional city breaker” and her writing backs this up, in a humorous, honest and informative style.
The Travelust Podcast has Sam chatting to people who have built their life around a desire to travel the world, reminiscing over travel memories, favourite destinations and providing some fantastic travel tips.
What She Said by Lucy Lucraft
Lucy’s a brilliant freelance journalist, blogger and podcaster, now living in Brighton with her family, her Instagram feed is beautiful.
Her podcast What She Said is a collection of fascinating conversations between successful online creatives who share their personal stories and provide their expert knowledge in order to inspire you to do something similar.
This North Works by Sophie Cliff
Sophie Cliff is a brilliant lifestyle and travel blogger whose down-to-earth writing style and positive outlook encourages and inspires its readers to enjoy life as much as possible.
Earlier this year Sophie started the podcast This North Works which celebrates and champions careers in the north of the UK. Each week she talks to various people from a variety of industries about the pros and cons of living and working in the north.
