Heading on vacation and looking to fill out your playlists for those lazy days on the beach or at the hotel? Here are five podcasts for you to dive into for help with mind, body and soul as you unwind in the sun, surf and sand.
1. The Joe Rogan Podcast
Widely known for his Ultimate Fighting Championship commentary, and his stint as the host of NBC stunt/dare show Fear Factor, Rogan runs one of the world’s most popular podcasts. In between the usual guests, such as comedians and fighters, Rogan has a penchant for medical experts, philosophers and forward-thinking physical fitness experts.
His ideas are a bit out there when it comes to aliens, marijuana and psychedelics, but he’s proven to be a hugely talented host, able to get his guests to open up and share many of their life secrets.
The best books for summer 2018, wherever and however you’re holidaying
Must-listen episode: Joe Rogan Experience #1054 – Dr Rhonda Patrick. Rogan has had Patrick on multiple times, and the MD is an absolute wealth of knowledge when it comes to nutrition and the body’s response to it. Tons of great information if you’re looking for that physical edge.
2. Bang!
From Radio New Zealand, this podcast takes on all the tough questions about relationships, sex and sexuality. It doesn’t hurt that host Melody Thomas’ easy-going and super cool demeanour makes talking with guests about uncomfortable questions somehow seem comfortable.
