Introduction
Welcome to Best Podcasts: Discovery Tools. This guide will point you to some of the best resources for finding podcasts that match your interests. This is one volume in a set of short books I’ve put together to help you find the best audio programs to listen to (of the many thousands available).
This guide is for anyone interested in podcasts, and also for librarians and educators — anyone who recommends podcasts for other people.
How to Listen

for some tips.
