Podcast Overview
As a more fun volunteer opportunity, we decided to curate a list of the top podcasts from Spotify & Apple Podcast so that you could tune in and learn more about careers, and case studies, or develop insights into your specific college major or future career. Please look at the list of podcasts and their topics below to see which one you're interested in. These educational topics range from leadership to science and business podcasts! We'd appreciate it if you could leave an honest review on whichever podcast you listen to and send Andrea (university coordinator) a screenshot of your review to show proof of completion. You only have to listen to 1 episode, leave 1 review wherever you listened to the show, and submit it to the BALF Volunteer Hours Form
Listen to only 1 episode of any podcast (LISTED BELOW)
Where to find these podcasts: Search for these shows on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Audible, Amazon Music, sometimes YouTube, or wherever you listen to podcasts! (keep in mind not all sites will let you leave a review ex: youtube NO; Apple podcast YES)
iPhone USERS ONLY Leave a review on the Apple Podcast app
ANDROID USERS ONLY Leave a rereview on the podcast's Facebook page or wherever you listened to their episode (Google Podcast does not currently have a place to leave a review)
Submit a screenshot of the review to your college coordinator as proof
Once you have left a review, submit your 5 hours on BALF Volunteer Hours Form (Click "Reporting volunteer hours" hit next, and then under "Where did you volunteer," select "Podcast" & type the name of the podcast you listened to)
You may NOT do more than 1 podcast to claim more than 5 hours. 5 hours is the max we will give for podcast volunteer hours

If you do not see a podcast above that strikes your interest, please feel free to find your educational podcast and check with your college coordinator to see if that podcast is eligible for volunteer hours. This will be on a case-by-case basis and not all podcasts will be eligible for volunteer hours (No "true crimes podcast" or "Comedy podcast") Remember! It must be educational and related to your career field of interest, college major, or personal goals.
