Podcasting has become a highly popular form of education and edification. Originally known as “audioblogging” in the 1980s, the ability to communicate information in a readily accessible medium quickly gained traction over the last several decades in particular.
Furthermore, the topics discussed via these online talking sessions have become expansive to say the least.
Whether it is about health, fashion, finances, politics or Marvel, there is a podcast talking about it!
(Apple now hosts over 500,000 podcasts and sports over 50 billion podcast downloads!)
And the only thing more incredible than that is the people who run the podcasts like athlete redemption legend, Rich Roll. (From "The Rich Roll Podcast")
The Tim Ferriss Show
Author of the New York Times bestsellers The 4-Hour Work Week, Body and Chef, Ferriss is a legend in his own right, but he doesn’t focus on himself. His goal during each podcast is to examine how the biggest names in successful industries got where there are today.It’s like looking at real life case-studies over and over again so that you see patterns.He also isn’t a pushover when it comes to lengthy discussions. Episodes can be over 3 hours long when he gets into it, but the insights he covers are phenomenal!

This isn’t about blame storming, it is about you being the difference in your life.
The Joe Rogan Experience
Joe Rogan’s name is synonymous with podcast stardom. The entertainer, martial artist, and former UFC Commentator has over 1000 episodes listed online and has interviewed the biggest names in practically every industry.
From controversial figures like Alex Jones to tech icons like Elon Musk (who smoked drugs on the show!) Rogan isn’t the kind of guy to mince words, and chooses to say it as he sees it.
His show is both polarizing and highly entertaining. If there was a podcast that had a little for everyone, it could very well be Rogan’s!
