Podcasts for Motivation and Inspiration?
Good morning WLS friends!
This morning, I woke up about an hour before my alarm and was searching through my podcasts for something to listen to while I dozed until my alarm went off. It got me wondering if there were others out there that listen to as many podcasts as I do and what kind. I listen to them at work and in my car a lot. I listen to silly ones about reality TV and pop culture (if you like Bravo shows, Watch What Crappens is absolutely hilarious) but then I have a bunch I listen to about WLS, mindfulness, intuitive eating and weight loss in general. I love listening to these and they actually really help me if I have a bad day or need some motivation. I wanted to share my favorites and see if you guys have others you can recommend. These are the top ones I like:
- Weight Loss Surgery Podcast - Hosted by Reeger Cortell, FNP
- Half Size Me
- Cut the Fat Weight Loss Podcast
- Insatiable
- Weight Coach: Permanent weight loss with Joann the Life Coach
Do you guys have any others you listen to that you like? Can't wait to hear about them! Thanks!

Not weight-loss related, but my favorite podcast is The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe. They have some great science news and it's educational without being boring.

Thank you! I will definitely check it out. That should balance out the brain-mush I create by listening to reality TV recaps!

I love this American Life and Ask Me Another! I also liked Serial but they haven't put anything out recently.
I will definitely check the others out! Thanks, Kat!
I have an unbearably long commute, so I am a podcast and audible addict. Here's my faves:
Dave Ramsey (financial)
The Mortified Podcast (people read things they wrote as kids)
The Memory Palace (history)
Sword and Scale (true crime--probably the best one out there, but
listener discretion advised)
Grownups read things they wrote as kids (self descriptive)
Beautiful Stories from Anonymous People (self descriptive)
Criminal (true crime-not graphic)
Crimetown (organized crime)
Secrets, Crimes, & Audiotape (audio drama)
The Bright Sessions (audio drama)
Lesser Gods (audio drama)
Homecoming (audio drama)
Thank you for the list! I love true crime novels so I will try some podcasts like that too. I got SUPER into the first Serial season but couldn't really get into the second one. Sword and Scale and Criminal sounds really good.
Oooooo I love this thread! Podcasts rule!
I listen to many on the list. Dear Sugar Radio is another favorite.
Beautiful Stories from Anonymous People is one I look forward to every week.
I like Reeger's podcast as well. Was so helpful in my early stages.
