The Top 7 Podcasts For The Digital Nomad in 2021!

We’ve collated a list of our favourite podcasts talking all about the world of the digital nomad and what it has to offer so if you’re already a pioneer of the remote world or someone looking to get involved in it, this is the list for you

The idea of a digital nomad is still a relatively new one but with the recent seismic changes to the job market, it has become a key part of the modern workplace. Long gone is the traditional idea that workers should be stuck in the same dingy office for up to fifty years before a disappointing retirement. Now more than ever there is the opportunity for there to be a solid balance between life and work with a new office every day and more time for the things that really matter, enter: the digital nomad.

The sector which has benefited most from the digital nomad is software engineering where jobs in web developing and coding have evolved to the point where they can really be done from anywhere, a truly remote job. We are starting to see a world where remote work is almost the norm for those looking for occupations in coding and programming so we’ve collated a list of our favourite podcasts talking all about the world of the digital nomad and what it has to offer so if you’re already a pioneer of the remote world or someone looking to get involved in it, this is the list for you.

Arc’s ‘Mastering Remote’ podcast is a great one for professional remote workers and company owners alike as they do a really great job at going into detail about some key parts of remote work, making sure to cover bases for both parties involved. Whereas some podcasts can be guilty of skipping over the topics that really are important to people, ‘Mastering Remote’ is great for discussing the key parts of remote work, the things that really matter to those trying to build a remote life working on javascript, html and python.

Christine Orchard is the host of the show and she herself is a true advocate of the digital nomad lifestyle with her working out of Taipei despite being an Ohio native. She always makes sure to bring great people on to the show with the big wigs of Cota Capital, HubSpot and Buffer coming on recently.
