Podcast Swag for Home & Office
Headphones & Speakers
A true podcast fan needs quality headphones and a good Bluetooth speaker. In my house, we’ve got a ton of options! For budget earbuds, you can’t go wrong with SoundPEATS. Even their $30 buds are well-made and have great sounds.
My next recommendation would be Bose headphones. Bose is the gold standard in sound quality, so their products come with a higher price tag. BUT, I often find great deals on Bose items on Amazon.
For an affordable Bose option, and ones that’s great for active/sporty podcast listeners, try the Bose SoundSport Wireless Earbuds. They’re sweat-proof and they come in some cool colors.
My husband and I both have the Bose QuietComfort Noise Cancelling headphones, and we highly recommend them. They’re awesome for the gym and on planes, and the ear buds fit really snug and comfortably in our ears. They’re a little pricey, but completely worth the money.
Being able to listen to podcasts on-the-go is a major bonus for any podcast fan. Portable Bluetooth speakers are affordable, and the first two options above are best-sellers on Amazon (check out all the reviews!)
For the podcast fan who doesn’t have a Bluetooth connected car, or an auxiliary port to connect their smart phone, this car visor Bluetooth speaker is perfect!
Wearable Accessories for Podcast Listening
Whether at the gym, walking the dog, or vacuuming the house, these accessories make it easier to listen to podcasts.
This Bluetooth hat is perfect for podcast fans who live someplace with harsh winters, or who travel a lot. This is also great for any runner or jogger who hates fiddling with headphones or earbuds – just throw on the hat and go!
I LOVE my FlipBelt. I’ve used it for YEARS. The FlipBelt is super easy to slip on (just step into it, like a pair of shorts), and I can slip my phone, keys, debit card, and anything else I need while out and about. It’s washable, super durable, and it comes in a ton of colors and sizes.Be sure to click on the link to see all the photos of how you can wear and use the FlipBelt.
The Running Buddy magnetic pouch is easy to put on and has a velcro closure. It’s another great accessory for hitting the sidewalk, trail, or gym. Just hit play on your favorite podcast, throw your phone into the pouch, and go (there’s a headphone port, or you can just let the podcast play out loud!)
Audiobook Subscriptions
A lot of podcast fans also love audiobooks, and there are three great options you can choose from. An Audible membership is a great gift idea that lets your gift recipient choose any audiobook they like. Audible Plus (formerly Audible Channels) includes Audible Originals (audio stories not available anywhere else) as well as lots of podcats.
Scribd is my new obsession. Scribd is like Netflix for books (both ebooks and audiobooks), plus it includes podcasts, articles, and so much more. It’s truly an enormous collection of digital content.
Libro.fm is for folks who want to access audiobooks while also supporting their favorite local bookstore. I support a bookstore from my home state, and if I’ve ever accumulated too many credits in my Libro.fm account, I just pause the subscription.
Make Them a LoveBook
Podcasts are all about stories. If your podcast fan loves a good story, consider making them a LoveBook. It’s a story all about the reasons you love them, or the things you love about them, or the activities you love doing with them (like listening to or talking about PODCASTS).
LoveBooks are completely customizable. I made my husband a LoveBook several years ago, and it is a gift that he still treasures. And it’s good for any occasion!
Books By Podcast Hosts
A lot of super popular podcast hosts have published books based on the well-loved content that they make their podcasts from. Here a few popular books by podcast hosts that make great gifts for podcast fans. (If you want even more books by podcasters, click on over here.)
The World of Lore: Monstrous Creatures
This book by Lore podcast host Aaron Mahnke includes creepy-interesting true tales and beautiful illustrations.
Bored and Brilliant: How spacing out can unlock your most productive & creative self
After listening to an excerpt of this book’s first chapter, I added it to my own Christmas list (that I gave to my mom)! The book is by Manoush Zomorodi, the host of WNYC’s Note to Self podcast, and tackles the challenge of limiting smartphone use (Hellooo, podcast fans!) and why it might make us better people for it!
Malcolm Gladwell: Collected (hardcover book collection)
Genius author Malcolm Gladwell reached a whole new audience with his Revisionist History podcast. The unique take on historical events quickly made this a top-rated podcast. This collection of his three best-selling books makes a great gift idea!
Welcome to Night Vale: A Novel
This fictional mystery is based on one of the most popular audio drama podcasts out there. This is just one of the Night Vale books – get them all and make one podcast fan really happy!
The Mental Floss History of the World Book
History podcasts are some of the most popular podcasts there are. This funny history book by the Mental Floss team is one of my faves, and would make a great gift for a podcast fan.
