I have been listening to podcasts on my phone for a little over a year now, and I love it! I found some favorite podcasts, but am always looking for more. This past week, I added a bunch of new series including “How I Built This” and “Fresh Air” – some of my regular shows also came back from having a break, so I have WAY more than I can listen to at the moment! I always love the amount of choice from having lots of different topics, such as music vs. talk shows or politics.

HOWEVER, it can be quite overwhelming when I’m trying to catch up on them all. I often listen to my podcasts when I’m out driving and sometimes while doing housework. But it is usually only for about 30 minutes at a time. With the new ones plus the podcasts I already had, I probably have 5-10 of EACH show (and there are about 10-12 shows that I listen to throughout my week). It will be fun trying to get through them all without putting any on the back-burner for too long!

Music has also been coming at me in hoards this month 😮 About a year ago as well, I started making playlists of the top 12 songs that I listened to for each month. Most months have about 20 tracks that need to be narrowed down, but March had about 15 in the first week ha! So by now, there is probably more like 25 and the month is still going…

I also just learned that Apple Music has a feature that chooses songs/artists for you daily, based on your favorite genres – this means, I have about 10 of those songs added into the already IMMENSE list of songs for March! I am a huge lover of music, but narrowing this month down to only 12 is going to be a challenge that I am not particularly looking forward to. It will make a fun ending post for the March SOL though (already a poem idea sparked while writing this)!

personal day 11, started late! (going to complete 31 days, just on my own when March is over)
