**Today is International Podcast Day, so it is the perfect opportunity to find out
which podcasts fundraisers find useful and would recommend.**

We asked fundraisers for their suggestions, hoping for some of the established podcast
names but also for some new resources, perhaps not even specifically targeted at
fundraisers.

Here are the podcasts that were recommended.
