As @kritibami asked, some podcast recommendations for @UKACSC commuting. These are really just the starting point, the world is your oyster!

First, find some good general and current affairs ones to stay up to date. All the @WarOnTheRocks ones are good, especially Net Assessment and Bombshell. They have a US focus, so also try @ecfr World in 30 Minutes.

Then there are the ones that try and look at a particular issue in more depth, be it security or international relations. @PowerProblems with @EmmaMAshford and @IISS_org Sounds Strategic are frequent and interesting along with @ChathamHouse Undercurrents.

Don't forget, this is still a course about the use and role of the military! So @WarInstitute should be on your list, along with the current @RUSI_org Western Way of War series.

Try and have some thematic podcasts (especially if there is an area where you want to learn more), as there are a proliferation (pun intended!) of experts now plying their trade online.

Nuclear issues are back in vogue, along with wider proliferation concerns, so try @ACWPodcast with @ArmsControlWonk. The recent @AtTheBrinkPod is a fascinating/worrying look at nuclear weapons security and @Atomic_Hobo provides a great context from Cold War nuclear issues.

On technology, the UK's own @ReDefPod by @KuhtJames is a great intro, and @ArmyMadSci The Convergence comes out every month with something new.

Intelligence is little understood beyond James Bond (for which there are several podcasts!) so try @IntelMattersPod and @INTLSpyCast.

For taking a look at security beyond the normal military perspective, try @elisabethbraw and the RUSI On the Cusp podcast, which looks at 'modern' deterrence, or the @Remote_Warfare Warpod (which will hopefully find a new home when the ORG closes this year).

The new @ThinkLikeAnEcon podcast helps understand basic economics, which matters hugely to international relations.

@lawfarepodcast covers everything (usually with a US angle) but is particularly helpful on things like oversight, understanding law in conflict and thinking about civil rights.

It's worth trying a critical thinking podcast or something that looks at broader culture, like https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/bigideas/ (Australian), @notsmartblog podcast or @AlephInsights Cognitive Engineering.

And finally, if you are too lazy to read, and want to hear some work of genius you have written spoken aloud, @wavellroom does both podcasts and audio versions of its articles! Most importantly, find podcasts that are engaging and excite or amuse you.

(When I say 'commuting' I'm aware some of the course will be virtual, so this also covers 'moving from your bed to your computer', 'sitting on the sofa in shorts' and 'doing the ironing/washing up/prevaricating over your DRP').
