What I Listen to When I Work

August 23, 2024

Being strapped to a desk all day for work can sometimes make you go stir crazy! To combat the isolation in my 4 walls I listen to a variety of podcasts, audio books and music while I work. Each day is different, the project I’m working on dictates what I have going in my ears. 

I try to find an array of podcasts that cover each day of the week as I usually like listening to them while I do my morning admin. Podcasts I have in heavy rotation include; 

  • Shameless – Pop Culture 
  • Dark History – History
  • The inspired Media Podcast – Social Media Management & Growth
  • PR/etty Average – PR & Marketing
  • Murder mystery & Makeup – True Crime
  • Casefile True Crime – True Crime
  • Huberman Lab – Health & Wellness
  • Stuff you should know – Educational & Historic
  • ShxtsNGigs – Comedy 

I had a break from shameless for about a year and I have just been binge listening to all their ‘Scandal’ Episodes I’ve missed – it’s actually an addiction. If you have any other suggestions or podcasts you can recommend please let me know – I love learning new things and discovering new people! 

After lunch, I like to break up my day with an hour or two listening to a fiction audio book while smashing out some design work. I usually listen to audiobooks when I’m doing something that doesn’t require me to read or write - which pretty much only leaves designing. 

I have just finished listening to ‘Scorned Prince’ by Brady Hunsaker on Audible and just started ‘The Sky on Fire’, by Jenn Lyons (Yes I love a good fantasy novel). I’m trying to fill the gap the ACOTAR left in my literary addiction. My friend recommended I read ‘The Bone Witch’ next so I’ll have to download it soon. Follow me on GoodReads so I can see what you’re all reading too. 

BRAT has me hyped – Aussie summer cannot come quick enough. But you could also catch me listening to some light Jazz, RnB or AfroBbeats. My current hyper fixation songs include; 

  • 365 - thank-you charlie for the hype song I needed to get me over that 2pm slump!
  • Alibi - absolute Tik Tok trend 
  • Gen z luv - Central Cee just knows what he’s doing
  • Drogba - vibes on point 

What’s been in your ears this month? I’d love to know!
