From page 42 sively. Video podcasts can be more informative and offer a richer media experience, but if commuting, you might hit the car in front of you should the episode be too engaging.

The most common way to listen to podcasts is via an app, such as the “Podcast App” on your iPhone, “Google Podcasts” on your Android smartphone, Spotify, TuneIn and Stitcher.

Each of these free apps allows you to sample and subscribe to any of the thousands of podcasts available.

Popular podcasts to get you started

Rabbit Hole: A podcast produced by the New York Times about how the internet impacts our lives.

RadioLab : Produced by WYNC public radio, this is probably the highest production-value podcast available. I highly recommend the episode about how Native Americans became a symbol for sportsmanship in American football.

Serial: If you like true crime documentaries, this is the podcast for you.

StartUp: Each season of this debut podcast for Gimlet Media. covers the real-time development of a business startup.

Start With This: In this podcast, each episode ends with two assignments to spur creativity.
