It's been a short summer, but onward to fall! Today's blog post gives you something to think about as a winter activity: podcasts! Do you listen to medical or health and wellness podcasts?

Mayo Clinic produces podcasts, which you will see in the blog, but you can also find podcasts about your hobbies and interests beyond your medical and health needs. Podcasts are a great way to multitask and learn while taking care of housework, exercise and other things that don't require you to think too much.
