Even if you have never listened to one, you have undoubtedly heard about podcasts. A podcast is an audible program brought to you through a digital format over the internet. They are distributed by a hosting service that stores the episodes in one location. Podcasts can be downloaded to a personal device and listened to whenever and wherever you desire.
People listen to podcasts for a variety of reasons. Some enjoy the educational value, while others tune in to be entertained, inspired, chill out or keep up to date on topics of interest. The sky is the limit when it comes to the topics available. Do you like to cook? There are podcasts about cooking. Are you a music buff? You can find podcasts about your favorite genre of music. There are even podcasts for pet groomers.
Some of the ones my groomer friends enjoy the most are listed here for you to read about, in no particular order. The descriptions are copied here from their podcast information:

One of my groomer friends says, “I work alone, so every day, I just put on my headset and listen while I groom away.”
So, if you want entertainment, education, or enlightenment, try listening to some groomer podcasts while you groom away.
