podcasts :sparkles:

                hello everyone!! it's been...

                a while since i last posted

                (oops) but i decided to

                 come back with a post that

                i've been meaning to make

                for some time now — my

                podcast recommendations!

                i love podcasts. they're some-

                thing that i can so easily just

                put on in the background,

                a bit like white noise. or,

                if i'm not studying, they can

                be really informative!! here

                are three podcasts that i

                love <3

                dear hank and john

                dear hank and john is co-

                hosted by brothers hank

                and john green. they run a

                youtube channel together

                and make videos for various

                other channels, such as

                scishow and crash course.

                in the podcast, they talk about

                various things. they answer

                 questions submitted by

                listeners, and they always

                leave time to discuss Mars

                 related happenings and

                 the football (soccer) team,

                wimbledon fc, which

                john sponsors.

                 i like putting this podcast

                 on in the background

                because it is quite a casual

                podcast! it's also funny

                so can make any boring

                study session seem a

                 bit more fun.

                the ground up show

                this podcast is hosted by

                matt d'avella, who also has

                a youtube channel. the

                 channel has a big focus

                 on minimalism and self

                improvement, a theme

                 which is continued in the

                podcast.

                 each episode has a different

                guest (or guests), who share

                their wisdom and life

                experiences. each episode

                sits between an hour and

                and an hour and fifteen

                 minutes.

                 i love this podcast because

                matt's view on life is

                so inspiring to me, and all

                his guests have so much

                knowledge. if you don't have

                time for podcasts, i would

                 highly recommend his yt

                channel (matt d'avella) or

                 documentary 'minimalism',

                found on netflix.

                the wooden spoon

                this is a very new podcast

                (one episode as of me

                writing this!). it's hosted

                by four british studytubers:

                jade bowler, jack edwards,

                eve cornwell and ruby

                granger. this podcast

                reached #1 in the uk after

                the release of its first

                episode!! (wow!!)

                the podcast is called 'the

                wooden spoon' because

                 a wooden spoon is usually

                for whoever comes last in

                a race. hence why the podcast

                has a huge focus on failure

                and why failure is so

                important. it homes in on

                the struggles that students

                face on a day to day basis.

                i love this podcast because

                i really connect with what

                they say. failure is some-

                thing that i really struggle

                 with, and i'm sure some of

                 you also struggle with it.

                i would definitely recommend

                it if you are feeling under

                pressure from school, etc.

                that's it from me! i hope that,

                if you do check out any of

                these podcasts, you enjoy

                 them as much as i do! let

                me know what you think of

                them as well; i'd love to hear

                other people's opinions on

                them! <3
