9 best podcasts of 2019. What to listen in 2020?

(This article was initially published on my LinkedIn profile)

I started to explore the podcast content for the first time around 12 months ago and now I can only say: why so late?! When I finally got there I was amazed at how great the content is at your fingertips. It is definitely my favourite medium today and I consume it in large quantities. I decided to summarise here a list of my favourite podcasts that I listened to in 2019. Maybe you are looking for an inspiration to choose your first podcasts and this list will be useful to you. And if you have other podcasts you would recommend, please do!

I also mentioned below my discovery of the year in podcasts – „The Portal”. But this is so phenomenal that it needs a separate post only about this. Highly recommended!
