Imagine if you could be a part of a conversation between the World’s Top CEOs, Actors, or Spiritual Gurus without actually meeting them in person. It’d be pretty amazing, right? Now, what if I told you that this is actually possible! And not only is it possible, but is also easily accessible!
How, you ask? The answer is Podcasts.
Before we actually get into how this can be done, here’s a brief history of podcasts and their origins. A phenomenon which began in the 1980s with audio talk programs primarily conducted for educational institutions and later came to be known as audio blogging in the 90s, has today turned into a massive industry in itself. It is said that there are over 1 million podcasts around the world with over 30 million episodes available at our disposal.
Back to your first question of how that would be possible.
If you had aspirations of being an entrepreneur, imagine having access to the world's top most entrepreneurs from whom you can learn (almost) directly. Now the chances of that actually happening are low. But, this is where podcasts come into the picture. Podcasts enable you to have access to influential/knowledgeable people and be a part of the thought provoking and enlightening conversations they have with podcasters! Listening to their conversation makes you feel like you were a part of that conversation as well! As the podcaster picks their guests' brain, you can pick up some essential pieces of advice and information that could help you enhance your skill set too! Isn’t that amazing!
If you don’t already follow any podcasts, now’s the time to start! As a wise woman once said, ‘Crisis is the grandmother of opportunity’.
Having said all of this, here are my Top 3 podcast recommendations for you!
1. TheRanveerShow
Started by Ranveer Allahbadia aka BeerBiceps (a famous Indian Youtuber), The Ranveer Show is one of the most popular podcasts of today and is also branded as the Smartest Podcast of India. Ranveer brings on an immensely diverse bunch of guests on his show and he covers almost every possible question that could arise in a regular listeners head. Priyanka Chopra, Gaur Gopal Das, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, CEO & President of Schindler India, Mr. Ashok Ramachandran are some of the guests Ranveer has had on the show.
Now, the reason I would recommend you to watch/listen to this podcast is that it truly covers a variety of topics. It is because they bring such experts as guests on the show, that it provides some unique and exquisite insights. Furthermore, it is very consistent in terms of the depth its content provides because not only is it an interview of the person present on the show but also an overview of the things they’ve done in life and what there is to learn from them.

2. Honestly by Tanmay Bhat
This is a podcast series started by comedian turned gamer Tanmay Bhat on his second Youtube Channel which also happens to be named ‘Honestly by Tanmay Bhat’. He has a variety of podcast series under the wing of this channel. Out of them, I would like to talk about a specific series which is known as Neuroscience Learning. In this series Tanmay invites Dr. Siddharth Warrier, a neurologist, to deconstruct what happens in our body neurologically when facing a certain kind of situation/emotion for example, a heartbreak (which let’s be honest all of us have at some point in our lives). One can learn through this series why we react/respond to certain situations the way we do by understanding what goes on inside our body, which hormones and chemicals get secreted, behavioural patterns, etc. Along with this, the Neuroscience Series is something that is a completely unique concept because it gives you a perspective which you would have otherwise never had on the situations that have occurred in your life. Through gaining such knowledge we can also understand why performing certain activities repeatedly gets addictive. In conclusion, this is a one of its kind series that will not disappoint, and will definitely leave you with some useful insights on the neurology of your body.

3. The School of Greatness
This is a podcast started by Lewis Howes, a New-York Times Bestselling Author of the book ‘The School of Greatness’. He is also a lifestyle entrepreneur, high performance business coach and keynote speaker. He started this podcast in 2013, and ever since its launch on iTunes, it has become one of the top ranked Business and Self Development podcasts in the world. This podcast was another ‘first of its kind’, because it brought all kinds of people from different walks of life under one umbrella. In addition to the podcast covering a plethora of topics, it also taught the viewer/listener how they could implement the qualities, mindsets, and lifestyle habits of the guests on the show. The reason I’d recommend you to follow this podcast is that it covers smaller topics and dives deeper into them. This enables you to learn about individual topics in a way that you haven’t before. So, if you ever want to understand a topic more in depth, for example, how to find love or what is the science behind habit formation, chances are that Lewis has already done an episode on it or has spoken about it in one of his episodes.

I am sure that these podcasts will open your eyes to the vastness of this cosmos and widen your worldview, and at the same provide you with detailed information on topics that intrigue you!
