I’ve been listening to a great podcast lately, and it has me thinking about how much I enjoy listening to podcasts.  They help me keep my mind active and help me think of things in new ways.  I remembered a few months ago when I wrote a blog about a few podcasts I thought seniors might like, so I decided to give a few more recommendations!  If you missed the original blog, you can read it here.  Here’s a list of 5 fantastic podcasts you’ll love!
