Podcasts to Listen to During Phase 2 (Heightened Alert)

Updated on an almost monthly basis, you can learn more about Singapore through each episode. From pandemics to our hawker culture, the hosts Rovik and Elliot dive into topics that let you learn more about this country we call home. They sometimes also invite guests to share more on their perspectives to give you a wider viewpoint. I learnt a lot from listening to their episode on "The Life of Maria Hertogh (and the riots that ensued)" and learnt so much more than I did back in secondary school.

Looking for that extra push when you start your day? The Mindset Mentor will be your personal cheerleader. With each short 15 to 30 minute episode, the host Rob Dial talks you through tips on how to have more inspiration and focus in life. From tips on how to look at changes in life to ways to strive for success, each power-packed episode delivers the energy you need through audio. The best part is that each episode is short and easy to listen to, without a need for it to be in any particular order. You can just find the topics you need at that point in time and give yourself a quick caffeine-free pick me up. 

Through this podcast series, the host and author Anderson Silver shares with you Stoic philosophy and how it can help us all lead better lives. Stoicism is a tool in the pursuit of self-mastery, perseverance, and wisdom to live a great life (source from Daily Stoic). In each episode, the host will discuss a topic and how using the ancient teachings of key figures like Marcus Aurelius and Seneca, we can use stoicism to navigate our way through life for a more purposeful existence. This podcast is a great form of soul food that can help remind us to look within and improve our lives.
