Podcasts are a convenient way to make menial tasks- such as cleaning or doing laundry- more of an educational matter. I am a massive podcast fan and I have been listening to a plethora of different podcasts since early 2014, however I have only recently started to harness their learning potential.

After lots of listening, I have found what I believe to be the most productive podcasts in the space of biotech, including various discussion topics such as, recent news, new business ventures and a more in depth analysis of investment trends and business opportunities.
