The Dan Le Batard Show With Stugotz
For sports fans who miss being able to discuss the big game of the weekend over the water cooler, you can do much worse than The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz.
It’s recorded in Miami Beach and thus, there’s a distinct Florida-bias to all of the goings on but it’s still fun for everyone from Anchorage to New York and beyond.

NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts Podcast
We recently wrote about the best music to work from home to and we’d encourage you to hit up NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts when you’re in the mood for something a bit more challenging.

Sometimes, you want the feeling of something going on around you but you don’t have the bandwidth for music or voices.
That’s when The White Noise Podcast comes to your rescue. It’s full of clips of white noise to fill the sonic landscape without distracting you from the important tasks of the day.
Sometimes, if you’re getting too stressed, white noise can be really soothing – though if you’re stressed all the time, check out our guide on how to avoid burnout when working from home.

StartUp
We like to think of StartUp as the ultimate docu-drama for the workplace, as it’s all about how different companies came into being and then hit the ground running.
The good news is that it’s amusing enough but not so in-depth that you stop working and start focusing only on the stories.
Listen to StartUp online here.

You’re going to need to become your own number one fan if you’re working by yourself all or part of the time.
And the Affirmation Pod helps you do that by supplying you with some awesome affirmations that help you be kinder and more compassionate to yourself.
If you feel that your self-confidence is at a low ebb, you really should check this out. It can work wonders for you.

The ASMR Podcast
It won’t be for everyone, but if you find ASMR sounds soothing and not distracting, then this podcast is packed out with different ASMR sounds.
If you’ve never tried ASMR before, this is a great way to experiment, it’s unlikely that every sound will make you feel better but many of them will.
Oh and it’s free, unlike a lot of other ASMR material out there.

Not everyone is a natural creative.
And people who find themselves in creative roles, who are more naturally analytically minded, can often need a hand finding the balance between thinking and doing.
