Within the Hub, there are many categories to dive into. The Top 10 categories are a great place to start, there are many videos, podcasts, apps and guides to choose from.
For me I really enjoy listening to podcasts, there are so many to choose from across many genres. Whether they are from the sports genre, tv genre they can be a great source of entertainment and provide education too. You can listen to a podcast on a long walk, on your work commute or sat down on your sofa. You can also find podcasts under the genre of Health and Wellbeing, to provide you with support as you move through your recovery journey.
Here are the Top 3 podcasts currently being used from our hub.
The BBC have a whole chapter of their website that is filled with podcasts. You can catch up on Sports from the weekend, listen to hilarious comedies, listen to a dedicated Woman's Hour and many other genres of podcasts. They are all free to stream and you can listen on the go.
