Podcasts
While I have no TV at home and never owned one for 20+ years, I love listening to (audio) podcasts. As I wake up in the morning or while commuting/traveling, I enjoy fresh news from the BBC’s World service or latest episodes on HAM radio, Python programming, as well as Mindfulness.
Apps
There are many apps available, most of them cheap or even free (e.g. see Downcast, Snipd, Radio Public, etc.). Downcast is my favorite because of its playlist and automatic next in the list. I have also played a bit with Snipd, but could really not fit its intriguing (automatic) speech-to-text transcript in my routine.
