I am a huge podcast fan, it's what I listen to all day while I am working, in the car and walking the dog. I am also always on the hunt for something new to listen to and my genre obsessions change on a regular bases. Right now I am in my true crime era and even better if it is history based. Over the next few weeks we will be sharing some of our favs in different genre areas. This week we will lean into true crime which I am told is women's Roman Empire! Hopefully this list will help you find something new to listen to or if you have been thinking about digging into podcast maybe this will give you some ideas to start with! Have some suggestions for me? Tag me in my podcast post on IG and share your favs @mackidrebecca. *all descriptions of podcast have been taken directly from the show's webpage.
