Looking for a new podcast in your life? We ask Gen.T honourees to recommend the shows they can't live without
Podcasting has come a long way in 15 years. From its humble beginnings as a software designed to download internet radio broadcasts onto an iPod, podcasts have now transformed into a global multimillion-dollar industry.
With 2-3,000 podcasts launching every single month and over 750,000 podcasts globally, it can be tough to pick one. To get some pointers, we spoke to four Gen.T honourees about their favourite podcasts and what we should be listening to.

"I love listening to Longform because the hosts pick accomplished journalists' brains and I get to learn about how they work. I love hearing about how they got the story, their processes, and their personal journeys, as well as how they handle self-doubt, failure and criticism–all occupational hazards when you're a creative person putting your work out there. It's like getting a master's in journalism, but in podcast form.”
About the podcast Each episode focuses on a single journalist, featuring people such as Jodi Kantor, a New York Times investigative reporter who, alongside Megan Twohey, published the first big-break Harvey Weinstein story in the New York Times.
