I’m filling up my podcast vault in anticipation of doing 100 days of walking this year. Anyone got some good recommendations? Ones about personal finance would be great but other podcasts also would be appreciated.
 
Not finance related, but BBC sounds has a rake of them, majority are available in ROI.

Check out these programmes, each episode is 15 minutes.
Via the Sounds app on phone you can listen, or for most of the podcasts you can download on a PC and copy to your phone if connection will be unreliable.

The Essay - can touch upon any topic:

Michael Mosley Just One Thing - covers health and science related topics:

I am a fan of the Book of the Week \ Book at Bedtime but that might be a bit sedate for a walk.
 
I'd recommend Off Air. Its on 4 days a week. Its hosted by Jane Garvey and Fi Glover. They have an old podcast called Fortunately which was great too. Its a mix of subjects but is light entertainment I'd say.

Both former BBC broadcasters who were head hunted by Times Radio. They also have a radio slot from 3pm to 5pm. First time in the UK that a radio show has been hosted by 2 women.
 
Bump. Three castles burning is a great podcast about Dublin history, more vernacular. Excellent. Any other recommendations?
 
Path to Power with Matt Cooper & Ivan Yates or The Rest is Politics with Rory Stewart & Alastair Campbell if you're interested in current affairs and politics.
 
I'm enjoying the David McWilliams podcast. I've also enjoyed his most recent book, 'Money' ( although I've read a few others like it....its still an enjoyable read.
Anyway, the podcast.....even if you're not a fan, I highly recommend the most recent episode where he interviews Avi Shlaim , author of 'Three Worlds , memoir of an Arab-Jew'. I'm just about to buy that book.
Anyway, give that podcast episode a listen.
 
Currently enjoying Ian O'Doherty's YouTube podcast The State of Us. His latest with Alan Shatter is quite interesting.

He's only done a handful - but it promises to grow into something badly needed in the current media mix.
