Do you wanna listen to a podcast maybe?

via GIPHY

Last week we ran a poll over our social media channels to see what podcasts our students (and the wider PhD community) listen to. Podcasts can be a great way to get out of your head for a bit and think about things a little differently. We recommend listening to them when you’re travelling around or when you’re getting ready.

We welcome more suggestions, please pop them in the comments.
