Have you hopped on the podcast bandwagon yet?

We certainly have – and with good reason. In a global climate bursting with information and platforms to consume news and media, it’s hard to discern which places are the most resourceful. Now that we’ve got the Instagram’s and Twitter’s of the world, it often feels like we don’t need anywhere else to get news, facts and info. Well, that’s where podcasts come in. A medium that works as effortlessly as listening to music on your radio or phone, podcasts are an intimate spoken word platform that you can customise and enjoy anywhere. The information found in podcasts is extremely vast and encompasses many different genres and source materials. We’re all about mental wellness and how that impacts upon your sleep, so we researched different podcasts and found three mental wellness podcasts designed to improve your overall wellbeing and lifestyle.
