During these pandemic times I've found a lot of comfort and joy in listening to a Podcast or ten. There are so many out there to choose from in any topic you like. Seriously, pretty much any hobby or subject and there will be a podcast for it. These are just five of my favourite podcasts for authors.
1. The History Chicks
 |
| Available on all good podcast services |
I've mentioned these ladies several times in my 'love to' parts of previous blogs. Who doesn't love finding out about amazing women in history. Susan and Beckett cover such women as Catherine the Great, Joan of Arc and Jane Austen, down to lesser known women like Typhoid Mary Mallon and Maria Montessori.
2. Stuff You Missed in History Class
 |
| Available on all good podcast services |
Holly and Tracy love to cover the things in history that are so interesting but don't make the mainstream history lessons.
3. The Creative Penn
 |
| Available on all good podcast services |
This podcast covers so many things. Joanna Penn manages to keep us up to date while spilling any frustrations she may be having with her own writing. She has amazing special guests as well and some really good resources for writers.
4. So you want to be a writer
 |
| Available on all good podcast services |
Australian Authors Valerie Khoo and Allison Tait bring some local flavour for writers with great interviews and plenty of writing chat makes this podcast a joy to listen to.
5. Writer's Life Radio
 |
| Available on all good podcast services |
This is a great little podcast if you want a lot of info but given to you in 5 minute chunks. Some really great advice and their website has some really great resources for writers.
