Since the start of my journey as a writer, in the autumn of 2017, I’ve been working hard to grow as a writer and to get some words in every day. Then, we bought a house. A big house with a pasture. An old house in desperate need of a facelift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between that and my fulltime job, my writing time became more and more scarce and reading felt more and more like a guilty pleasure. Every moment spent reading was a bit of free time I didn’t spend writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then I crashed and burned after forgoing sleep in favour of writing for over three months. It took me over a month of reading and nothing much else to even figure out that the pit I found myself in wasn’t bottomless after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After two years of forcing myself to rest and recharge my brain with reading, I’ve finally found the perfect compromise. Audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So in the coming weeks, I’d like to take you all on a trip through my playlist and talk about the podcasts and podcasters I’ve grown to love, in the same way as I order it on my phone. By alternating fiction and non-fiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the list, in the order in which I found them myself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
