Podcasting Through the Pandemic
As we swiftly move through the change of seasons, it’s important that we take care of our bodies, minds and spirits. Podcasts are a great way to keep your mind engaged, and the best podcasts can be enjoyed no matter what’s going on around you.

By the Book
Episodes: 150
We love listening to people’s reviews. By the Book is described as half reality show, half self-help podcast. It reviews the content from self-help books through living out its rules or suggestions. The hosts, Kristen and Jolenta provide humourous, thoughtful and insightful reviews of popular self-help books.

I hate it but I love it
Episodes: 193
We love supporting Canadian creators. If you already haven’t given this podcast a try, we highly recommend it. Working from home means you don’t need to hold in your laughter to avoid disrupting co-workers. This show offers a mix of humourous banter with television and movie reviews that we all love to hate, and sometimes hate to love.

Breaking Beauty
Episodes: 144
Another great Canadian podcast! It can be so hard to sift through the new beauty products that are worth the hype, or not worth our money. Breaking Beauty hosts, Jill and Carlene, discuss breakthrough products, people and moments in beauty. Not only will we hear about the products themselves, but the stories and people behind the products. Plus, we get insights and topics from the makers and other industry experts themselves.
Their website also hosts their blog, where they share their reviews on even more products.
You’re Wrong About
Episodes: 109
You’re Wrong About is hosted by journalists who discuss a person or event that was miscast or in the public imagination. With over 100 episodes, they’ve covered everything from political scandals, royal scandals, missing person cases and more. It’s another uniquely thought-provoking listen.
