The Week in Art

This podcast has over 200 episodes. Hosted by Ben Luke, if anyone wants to know what's happening in the art world, the award-winning The Week in Art is a must-listen. Every week, it discusses significant events in the world art scene. News around the art world is also covered in The Art Newspaper's web portal, but I prefer listening to the podcast as it reduces my screen time.

Hosted by Jane Lindholm and produced by Vermont Public Radio, kids from all over the world submit their questions, and the host invites professionals to respond. But Why: A Podcast for Curious Kids is one of my favourite podcasts that I listen to with my daughter, Tavisha. This podcast is essential for any family with kids.
The Forum

The BBC World Service’s The Forum podcast invites experts to explore ideas and share their knowledge on various issues. This podcast, hosted by Bridget Kendall and occasionally by Rajan Datar, covers multiple themes, including history, science, philosophy, arts, culture, and politics. I enjoy listening to The Forum as it invites professionals from many fields to discuss ideas and share their knowledge which is always rewarding.

Patrick Aryee, the host and wildlife biologist, enthusiastically presents stories of biomimicry inspired by our natural world. Each episode focuses on a different animal and how its unique abilities or adaptations inspired human innovations and designs. I frequently revisit 30 Animals That Made Us Smarter. I wish they would release a third season soon.
