PODCASTS — LISTEN AT YOUR LEISURE

The Limit Does Not Exist www.podcastone.com/the-limit-does-not-exist Just in time for the pre-Christmas self-improvement, here’s something to make us all rethink what we ‘can’ and ‘can’t’ do.

This is a Forbes podcast, presented by Christina Wallace and Cate Scott Campbell, and the point of it is to show that there are many paths, many ways, many possibilities.

That there need be no limits to what we do, or the way we do it.

Practically, this takes the form of interviews with a range of remarkable people, who have succeeded in switching careers.

For example, the latest episode introduces us to Gabriel Wyner, an opera singer who fell into debt, then founded Fluent Forever, a language-learning system that cleverly leverages technology and memory research, and that, when launched on Kickstarter, became the most funded app in Kickstarter history.

Or listen to Leah Gilliam, VP of Strategy and Innovation at Girls Who Code, who began her career as an artist, filmmaker, and academic before moving to game design and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education, and bringing all her creative skills with her. Homo Sapiens www.homosapienspodcast.com This was originally billed as a LGBT version of Woman’s Hour, and is hosted by Will Young and Christopher Sweeney, who move effortlessly from funny to touching via interesting and important.

Guests have included Russell T Davies, Nicky Haslam, Rebecca Root and Peter Tatchell, all of whom respond to the presenters’ easy-going interview style by being remarkably candid. In the background can occasionally be heard the yapping of small dogs, with plenty of diversionary chat to keep things lively and informal.
