This is a list of podcasts that I have been listening to for a couple of years now. They help me escape from not only my work and life stress but also my internal stress that my mind creates. You should check some of them out.
With over 375 podcasts to date, this podcast follows the travels of Orem. This is a group of guys and gals that play Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition. It is a very fun to listen to and since I love to play Dungeons & Dragons, it is a good listen. Most episodes are around an hour and a half, with a few shorter and a few much longer, so it is a good podcast to listen to on your daily commute. This podcast is released weekly.

2) We're Alive and We're Alive: Lockdown
This is an audio drama that spans a number of seasons. The premise of the audio drama is that the world has gone to hell because of a zombie apocalypse. This audio drama is very immersive and a great listen. All the voices are very distinctive, which is a plus since you never see the characters. And as a bonus, I am in the We're Alive: Lockdown. This podcast has ended, but they might have more coming up very soon.
It is also available on iTunes.
3) Nerdist
This is a very fun podcast to listen to. It is a series of interviews with any- and everyone imaginable. The host is Chris Hardwick, who is a hilarious comedian and host of the Talking Dead show. Most episodes are around an hour to an hour and a half, so it takes almost no time in your day. They release 2-3 podcasts each week.
It is also available on iTunes.
4) The Dice Tower
Again towards my nerdy side, I love this podcast because of its topic. The topic of board games. This is more than just Monopoly and Risk. There are hundreds of board games released each year across the world. This podcast helps me find board games that I may like or helps me by reviewing board games I have been thinking of getting. They release podcasts weekly.

5) AMusEd
This is a podcast for all of my music educator friends. This is a podcast start by 4 friends in California to talk through their first 5 years teaching. They talk about any and every topic that can appear in Music Education. It helps me with my anxiety towards teaching, since I can just listen to what they have done. They release new episodes weekly.
