The Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is hosted by Long and Short Reviews. They offer this blog hop as a weekly prompt to help you gain new friends and visitors. You don't have to participate every week, but if you decide to post and join the blog hop for a week, Long and Short Reviews asks that you share your link on their weekly post on their website (it will be the top post on the home page each Wednesday morning). The link list remains open for new links for 48 hours. Then visit the other bloggers participating to see what they are talking about that week. Comments are appreciated.
Happy Wednesday! We are talking about our favorite websites, podcasts, and blogs this week.
As far as blogs, this is something hard to do. I've been blessed with some many great blogging friends that it would be hard to pick only a handful of favorites. So, I will say thanks to all of you in the blogging community for your support throughout the last 18 years. You have helped grow this blog and been a source of friendly conversation for many years. I also enjoy seeing what you are talking about each week. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
So, my attention now goes to websites and podcasts. Unless I'm shopping, I don't visit many websites. I guess my only favorite there would be NaNoWriMo. What can I say, I'm a news and social media junkie otherwise.
I really don't get into podcasts much, which is odd because I would really like to start one. Whether it be about real estate or books, I don't know, but I feel like it is in my future. Since I spend a lot of time in the car, podcasts seem like a great way to listen to information in snippets. Why don't I listen to more of them?
Some podcasts, I discover and then binge listen, like Christmas Morning and Wilder on the Prairie, but then I wander away and don't listen for months. Nothing to do with the podcasts, just not feeling it at the time.
Some podcasts are business related, like Bigger Pockets, Real Estate Today, or Coaching Kidlit. I tend to find topics I'm looking for and listen to those certain episodes.
Other podcasts are ones I should be interested in, but have never really indulged in, like Little House: Fifty for 50, From Plum Creek with Love, and Cabot Coverage. How have I not listened to every one of these episodes?
What are your thoughts on podcasts? Do you listen to them? How do you listen to them? What are some of your favorites?

I never used to be interested in podcasts because I figured it would just be another place for people to moan and groan about life--and it is, but it's so much more than that. I've actually learned things from podcasts about writing, about life, about dealing with trauma. Now I love 'em. 🙂
I don’t have the patience to listen to podcasts (and have the same problem with audiobooks a lot of the time!), but the Little House one sounds interesting.
Okay, so, I'm currently reading Prairie Fires by Caroline Fraser and never thought to look for podcasts about Laura Ingalls Wilder!

That's so neat, George. I've known a lot of people who are into them. I still keep them on my Spotify because every once in a while I will tune in. Thanks for visiting.
I've been listening to the Little House one as I drive around, Lydia. I needed some light entertainment. Until I had a job where I drove so much, I had no use for audiobooks. Thanks for visiting, Lydia.
Aymee, there are some neat ones. I haven't read Prairie Fires yet, but it is on my list. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for visiting.
Yes, I am new to podcast I figured that it would be conplaining and negative nonsense that we can find if we watch news or read the paper. Very much enjoy informative podcast like this gardening one i got into.
