Earworms: 3 Podcasts I Can't Stop Listening To

My commute used to be a silent drag, filled with nothing but the hum of the train and my own thoughts (which, let's be real, weren't always the most pleasant). But lately, it's become pure entertainment thanks to podcasts.

If you're looking to add some sonic spice to your day, here are three podcasts that have completely hooked me:

1. The Moth: This podcast spotlights true stories told live on stage. They cover everything from the hilarious to the heartbreaking, all delivered with raw honesty and captivating storytelling. Each episode is like discovering a hidden gem of human experience.

2. Heavyweight: This podcast helps people confront unresolved issues from their past. It's not always easy listening, but it's incredibly moving and often unexpectedly humorous. Host Jonathan Goldstein is a true gem, guiding these fascinating journeys with empathy and wit.

3. 99% Invisible: Ever wondered about the hidden design and thought processes behind everyday objects? This podcast dives into the fascinating stories behind the things we often take for granted – from the iconic Lego brick to the evolution of public toilets. It's a brilliant blend of history, design, and pop culture.
