I get up out of bed, brew a fresh pot of coffee, find the podcast I want to listen to, and sit back for a relaxing morning. If I get any ideas out of the podcasts I listen to, I will make note of those in my Apple Notes for later.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve put together a list of the 5 podcasts to listen to if you\u2019re a writer or content creator.

He has some interesting shorter Youtube videos worth listening to. They cover subjects such as note-taking, how to read and digest a book, and different daily routines he has. All things that a writer can benefit from. Some of his episodes have similar topics to the Writer Files, but he mixes it up with some pretty unique interviews.

Some of the analysts he has interviewed have also authored books about their experiences as CIA Intelligence Analysts, which I have in turn bought and read. Those books have led me to tweak my methods of both information gathering and interpretation of that information; a very beneficial skill for any writer to have.<\/p>\n<\/div><iframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed-podcast\/show\/5REGIacamp72nJvZIUzn2q\" width=\"100%\" height=\"232\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-7 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:0px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-6 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:15px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:36;line-height:1.1;\">Conclusion<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\"><p>Podcasts are some of the most convenient ways to obtain information, grow your knowledge and <a href=\"https:\/\/calepin.co\/writing-how-to\/creating-amazing-10x-content\/\" data-schema-attribute=\"\">elevate your content creation<\/a>.
