Woman listening to podcast while working from home.

There is no doubt that this year has brought on a whole new set of challenges. At GiftWorksPlus, we know that one major change in your routine is working from home. Sometimes, it can be hard to stay focused and motivated when you're stuck at home with your bed and TV close by. One thing that has helped us stay on track while we work is finding a few good podcasts to listen to in the background while we tackle our daily responsibilities.

There are plenty of great podcasts to check out depending on your interests or even your mood! Here are some of our favorites that we think you'd enjoy!

Top 4 Podcasts to Check Out This Summer

  1. The Daily: This podcast is great for getting you caught up with all the latest news headlines. It is hosted by New York Times journalist Michael Barbaro and includes interviews with other Times journalists. This is a great podcast for staying up to speed with all of the biggest news stories of the day.
  2. Crime Junkie: Here's one that will keep you on the edge of your seat. If you're interested in true crime or love a good murder documentary, this podcast is perfect for you! Hosts Ashley Flowers and Brit will take you through real crime stories from beginning to end, ranging from hugely popular true crime cases to the lesser known cold cases.
  3. Stuff You Should Know: These podcasts are great for a quick break from work, as they are typically only 8 minutes long. Each short episode answers questions we have all had at one point or another. This includes simple questions, such as the difference between deodorant and antiperspirant to bigger questions like how to survive a plane crash!
  4. Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend: Sometimes, you just need a good laugh, and this podcast is sure to deliver! In this podcast, Conan O'Brien interviews various guests, including Dana Carvey, Lisa Kudrow, and Michelle Obama. Although, some of the funniest moments in the podcast are in his interactions with his assistant Sona Movsesian and producer Matt Gourley.
