Life Kit #SOLC

I only recently got into listening to podcasts.  My oldest daughter introduced them to me when we would drive the three hours to return her college after weekends home.  Once I figured out where to find podcasts (started with Apple, now I use Spotify), I started searching and listening to find my favorites.

My top, go-to podcast for the ride home is NPR's Life Kit.  This gem is only 15-20 minutes long, so it's perfect for my commute.  Life Kit has a variety of hosts and topics, ranging from dealing with family members at the holidays, starting a hobby, and staying connected with friends.

Last week I listened to the episode centered on all the administrative tasks we have to take care of at home (car repairs, doctor appointments, bills, etc).  The episode really got me ready for tackling some of this minutiae as I begin spring break.

Thinking back to the first podcast I listened to, I never thought I would enjoy them.  But now, I'm off to listen to another episode... NPR Life Kit Podcast

  2. Should I admit that I have never listened to a podcast? Maybe it's time to try something new. LIFE KIT sounds interesting!
