A pod cast is basically an audio version of your favorite blogs, shows and topics that you can download and listen to whenever you want, wherever you want. Podcasts started as a way for individuals to spread their message and build a community of people with similar interests. Topics cover just about everything you can think of from news, to economics, to religion to comedy. The best part is most podcasts are free! You can easily listen to shows from your phone’s web browser utilizing an app such as RadioPublic, Sticher and Google Podcast. Podcasts can also be accessed via a computer. Below you will find a list of our 10 Favorite podcasts for seniors.
 
1. Stuff You Should Know 
This is a fascinating biweekly podcast from the HowStuffWorks team. A unique dose of education and entertainment. Topics include: How sweepstakes work, how the escape from Alcatraz worked and the great American coin shortage of 2020.
 

2. Lux Radio Theater
Lux Radio Theater, one of the genuine classic radio anthology series (NBC Blue Network (1934-1935); CBS (1935-1955), adapted first Broadway stage works, and then (especially) films to hour-long live radio presentations. It quickly became the most popular dramatic anthology series on radio, running more than twenty years. The program always began with an announcer proclaiming, "Ladies and gentlemen, Lux presents Hollywood!" Cecil B. DeMille was the host of the series each Monday evening from June 1, 1936, until January 22, 1945.
 

3. Planet Money

5. Better Health While Aging
