PODCASTS! Sifa recommends....
I don’t know about you, but since lockdown and the removal of my daily commute into work, my routine of listening to podcasts has slipped. HOWEVER, after a short break, I’ve been really enjoying my new(ish) daily routine of going for a lunchtime walk and putting on a good podcast. For me, podcasts are a really good way to a) get out of my own head and narrative for 30-60 mins, b) learn something new and/or fun c) feel like I am being part of a conversation that is currently happening in our environment. At the moment, podcasts are getting me out of the flat and back into the world.
So, have you fallen a little out of love with podcasts and need some recommendations? Fear not, here are a few of what I have been listening to (in no particular order).
The Great Women Artists
Presented by art historian and curator, Katy Hessel, ‘The Great Women Artists’ podcast interviews artists, curators, writers or general art lovers on female artists who means the most to them. Because who else is sick of Lee Krasner being referred to as Jackson Pollock's wife? @thegreatwomenartists
How to Be a Boss at Ageing
‘How to Be a Boss at Ageing’ is the brilliantly funny podcast by Anniki Sommerville which tackles the question- who the heck am I now that I’m an ‘older’ woman? In each episode, Anniki is joined by a variety of female experts who tackle different themes and subjects on life, work and what comes with being an ‘older’ woman. @annikisommerville
