How to listen

If you want to listen on your phone, you probably have an app pre-installed, otherwise Podcast Republic, Player FM or TuneIn Radio are good choices. You can also find and listen to podcasts through your laptop/home computer: try the podcast’s own site or search iTunes or acast.com. To find new podcasts, you could haunt the #podernfamily hashtag on Twitter or Instagram for inspiration. In addition, Miranda Sawyer has a regular podcast column in The Guardian, and New

Statesman’s head of podcasts, Caroline Crampton, co-writes an email newsletter called Hot Pod (hotpodnews.com). Dolly Alderton and Pandora Sykes also regularly highlight great podcasts on their own (very good) show The High

Low (acast.com/thehighlowshow).
