Trent's Favorite Podcasts

date: 2021-07-23

Introduction

Someone asked me 10 years ago what are my favorite podcasts, so here you go. Note that a lot of podcasts tend to improve over time as the hosts become more skilled at production.

Now you see why road trips with me are so much fun!

To subscribe to any podcast, simply paste the rss link in to any podcast client application. My preference on Android is AntennaPod, but there are many others to choose from.
