What genealogy podcasts do you listen to?

January 24, 2020 By Janine Adams 14 Comments

Podcasts are all the rage right now. I listen to them daily and enjoy a mixture of self-help, true crime and entertainment. I binge listen to some and listen to others as soon as they are published.

For some reason, I haven’t added a lot of genealogy podcasts to the line up. There are only two genealogy podcasts I listen to regularly. They are:

  • Generations Cafe from Amy Johnson Crow
  • Genealogy Happy Hour, hosted by Amy Craybill Lay and Penny Burke Bonawitz

I’ve been fortunate enough to be a guest on both these shows.

I know I’m missing out on some great genealogy podcasts, so I turn to you. What genealogy podcasts do you listen to? I’d love to add your favorites to my play list.

    Research Like a Pro is my favorite one – and their classes are excellent! If you have an opportunity to take their Study Group (class) – do it- you will not be sorry!

    Don’t hear so no podcast is listened to. And not many “file” their recording with close captions. Sad face.

      That must be frustrating! Some video podcasts are on YouTube with closed captioning and others do provide transcripts. So perhaps you can some podcasts that will work for you.

about me

I'm Janine Adams, a professional organizer and a genealogy enthusiast. I love doing family history research, but I find it's very easy for me to get overwhelmed and not know where to turn next. So I'm working hard to stay organized and feel in control as I grow my family tree.

In this blog, I share my discoveries and explorations, along with my organizing challenges (and solutions). I hope by sharing what I learn along the way I'll be able to help you stay focused and have fun while you do your research, too.
