Welcome! [Read Me]

<aside> 🚢 This is the Best Podcasts of 2023 section of The Dickie’s Digest Best Of 2023 Curation.

I originally wanted to create a list of my personal favorite things of 2023—books, podcasts, purchases, habits, lessons, places I visited, etc.

But I thought it would be more fun (and valuable) instead to curate the best recommendations of a wide variety of people, rather than just me.

So below you’ll find links to the 30 most popular podcast episode recommendations I received after roughly 375,000 people on X. You’ll find links to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and the YouTube version if it’s available.

Plenty here to keep you learning & reading through the holidays and into 2024!

If you enjoyed these, check out some of the links to the right to share them with a friend or with your audience.

And if you have recommendations that I should add, DM me on Twitter and I’ll add it to the list!
