You might have noticed that I didn't send an update last week (at least I HOPE you noticed!)
Â
Last week was the July 4th holiday, and it seems like everyone hit the beach and took a long weekend. So I figured I should do the same!
Â
I enjoyed an evening walk on the beach, some tennis playing, tennis watching (Hubby and I are watching Wimbeldon and on social media freezes for certain hours of the day!), and a ton of podcast listening.
Â
Â
I hope you've had a great 3 weeks! Now, onto the podcast goodness.

Podcast Review: Ear Hustle, Season 4
Â
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a review of the new season of Ear Hustle. If you're new to Ear Hustle, you could totally start with Season 4 and enjoy the first few episodes (although I definitely recommend going back to the beginning at some point!)
Â
If you're an Ear Hustle subscriber, but you haven't listened to all of the last few seasons, go ahead and pick back up now. There's something sorta special about Season 4, but I just can't put my finger on it.

This is Uncomfortable
Â
This new podcast from Marketplace "is about life and how money messes with it." The very beginning of episode 1 got me hooked. The stories are told casually, but are thoughtful and don't hit you over the head with the lessons to be learned.

The Podcast Hour
Â
I'm not sure how I've gone this long sending podcast recommendatoins without mentioning The Podcast Hour. This show out of New Zealand is another way to find great podcasts to listen to (many are from New Zealand and Australia, but they also include shows from around the world).

An Arm and a Leg
Â
Even though I love the name of this podcast, and I think that the cover art is genius, I've only just begun listening to An Arm and a Leg (Season 2 just started). The show covers the crazy/insane/insane/crazy of health insurance here in the United States. Host Dan Weissman does this through easy-to-follow, relatable stories that will educate even those Americans who think
they understand their health insurance.
Â
* International friends: You've heard about it, and you already know it's crazy, but this podcast will really help you understand the healthcare situation in the US.
