With the growing calls for self-distancing during this pandemic of the coronavirus, boredom kicks in on an unknown level. One of the most popular ways to help the time pass by would be binging TV shows, but what if you have caught up with all of your shows and you cannot find anything else to watch? It happens to everyone every once in a while. Another way to help pass the time is to listen to podcasts, anywhere you can listen to podcasts. One of my favorite places to listen to podcasts is on Spotify. 

Here is a list of my favorite podcasts on Spotify:

 

1. Murderific True Crime Podcast

3. Decoder Ring

5. Office Ladies

I hope these podcasts help you pass the time by when you are bored!
