The 21st century has brought with it a range of new ways that we take in information. Whether it be our news on apps or keeping up with our favourite TV shows on streaming sites like Netflix or Amazon Prime. Podcasts have enabled us to learn, be interested and can also find us falling on the floor in laughter. By taking in a story through a podcast is one of my personal favourite ways to unwind after a long day in the office- nothing beats it.
You can lay down on your bed with a bottle of beer and just stick in your headphones and let the podcast take you to wherever you want to go. How you can get your favourite podcasts is entirely up to you, but be sure to check out some of these local Birmingham-based podcasts.
