Hi everybody and welcome to our videos for this week. This week I am going to be talking as with

2
00:00:08,789 --> 00:00:13,050
all weeks about something that I've been up to during quarantine and during these times.

3
00:00:13,689 --> 00:00:21,230
So a thing that I've been doing while cleaning or cooking or while just walking around my house

4
00:00:21,230 --> 00:00:27,609
trying to be productive is I will put on a podcast. So we are going to be talking about

5
00:00:27,609 --> 00:00:36,590
podcasts this week. I personally like podcasts because they're a way to learn new things,

6
00:00:36,590 --> 00:00:42,509
to stay up to date with world news, or maybe to even have an escape from the world for a moment,

7
00:00:42,689 --> 00:00:49,310
conversely. And you could have any or some of those things combined depending on the podcast.

8
00:00:49,549 --> 00:00:55,649
You have a lot of options for what you want to get out of a podcast. I personally listen to a

9
00:00:55,649 --> 00:01:03,670
lot of different types of podcasts based on my mood. So I listen to news podcasts, podcasts about

10
00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:10,269
true crime, so crimes that have been committed. I like to listen to comedy podcasts or podcasts

11
00:01:10,269 --> 00:01:18,069
that interview different people. And one podcast that I listen to almost every day each week is

12
00:01:18,069 --> 00:01:25,030
called The Daily. So this is a podcast that's put out by the New York Times every weekday. So Monday

13
00:01:25,030 --> 00:01:31,549
through Friday they put it out and each episode is usually between 20 to 35 minutes so it's not

14
00:01:31,549 --> 00:01:39,569
too long and what they do is each episode discusses one current event that the creators

15
00:01:39,569 --> 00:01:45,810
the writers and the man who is acting who's doing the vocal acting who's speaking

16
00:01:45,810 --> 00:01:52,510
they discuss one current event that they think is important the thing about this podcast that

17
00:01:52,510 --> 00:01:58,090
maybe I would change a bit if I could, is that it is a bit US-centric. So it tends to focus on

18
00:01:58,090 --> 00:02:03,750
stories in the United States more. Not always, but a lot of the time it talks about things that

19
00:02:03,750 --> 00:02:08,629
are happening in the United States. But it is a podcast that helps me stay aware of what's going

20
00:02:08,629 --> 00:02:14,270
on in the world. And it's not too overwhelming to me because they just pick one topic per episode.

21
00:02:14,270 --> 00:02:18,729
So they're not saying, this is happening, and that is happening, and all of these things are

22
00:02:18,729 --> 00:02:24,129
happening in the world. It's a zoom in and it just has this one item focus, which I really like.

23
00:02:24,189 --> 00:02:28,650
So I would recommend that podcast to any of you if you are interested at all.
