Teens might not always seem to listen to their parents, but they’re great listeners when it comes to online music and media. With schools shut down, teens have an unprecedented amount of leisure time on their hands. Podcasts are an excellent way to keep teens meaningfully engaged and minimise screen time. If you’re a podcast listener, you know it’s a great medium of entertainment with a range of curated content tailored to your preferences. The global content that is easily accessible is a blessing. We have handpicked six of the most interesting podcasts for teenagers that will entertain, educate, and inform them. 

Life lessons from Harry Potter

The popularity of Harry Potter cannot be truly measured. Rarely does any fiction have such a global impact on readers and audiences. At the heart of it all are characters we empathise with and who inspire us. The Harry Potter and the Sacred Text podcast is a must-listen for fans of the Harry Potter series. While revisiting the original text, hosts discuss themes such as forgiveness, commitment, and revenge touching upon the inspirational and almost-instructional elements from our beloved novels. The podcast gives the listeners much to reflect upon and can act as a soothing balm in today’s tumultuous times. Weekly episodes clock between 30 to 65 minutes.
