I reckon I’d weigh 15 kilograms more if it wasn’t for Podcasts. As much as I love music, I prefer to be informed and/or educated during my daily walks and that’s what my Podcasts are for.  Now that I’ve joined a Gym,  I may listen to the less-demanding music a bit more, but for now it’s Podcasts. And here’s my list of ones I subscribe too in iTunes.  These are audio-only, so ABC means ABC Radio, usually Radio National.
