A love letter to podcasts

Motivation

When I was 17 years old, a blogger from the IT community asked for interesting sentences and an explanation why the submitter thinks it is interesting. I remember that I submitted a pangram, but I cannot remember the language (DE or EN). Somehow I got selected as winner and I received an iPod Shuffle as a prize. I set it up using Rhythmbox Music Player and listened to podcasts while riding my bike to school. I enjoyed it a lot. Around 2017 I had so much input from university and language classes, I interrupted listening to podcasts, but picked it up as soon as I had regular, longer rides to workplaces again.

This is a love letter to all podcast(er)s out there. I take it as an opportunity to share which podcasts I listened to.
