Podcasts are generally free, although you can get premium ad free if you want. Podcasts are like lectures, stories. I’ve really liked Dan Carlin Hard Core History podcasts, which you can access by stitcher, (a free program through the ap store). Also, Public radio international has some wonderful podcasts on all kinds of subjects. I like ones like the Moth Radio Hour where people tell different stories about themselves. Every day people with extraordinary stories at times. There’s another podcast called “Mortified” where people tell hilarious stories of things they did that are extremely funny in retrospect. One woman on “Mortified” told the story of when she was a Girl Scout and her mom, the Girl Scout leader, had to keep hundreds of boxes of GS cookies in the garage for a couple weeks before they could officially be sold. Guess who ate all the cookies in the middle of the night? She carefully taped and glued the packages back together. Really, it was hilarious and a lot is lost in the telling, but I will quote my mother in law who said once that something was so funny that tears rolled down her thighs. So even with this spoiler, it’s still funny to listen to. Another podcast I like is “This American Life” which seriously explores all the diversity that is America.
