A podcast is a great way to learn more about topics that you are interested in, and you can choose from so many that are available. Whether you want something interesting to listen to whilst you are going out for a run, or you want something on whilst you are getting on with the housework, the beauty of a podcast is that you can choose what you want whenever you want and listen.

This has topped the charts in the politics section of podcasts, with a range of political issues being discussed by people who know a great deal about it.

If you are keen on nature, there are lots of great podcasts to listen to. From the Woodland Trust to BBC nature, you will be sure to find something that takes your interest and helps you to learn more about the natural world. From trees and fungi, to birdwatching.
