Podcasts have been around for quite a while, but I’ve been slow to incorporate them into my daily routine. I just began listening to podcasts and discovered how much I appreciate them. There is so much to learn out there! Podcasts cover a wide range of subjects and, for the most part, are free! There is certainly something for everyone out there. In fact, I’m listening to a podcast while writing this blog!
Podcasts are ideal for listening to when you would normally listen to music in your spare time. I like to listen to them in the morning while getting ready, at work, or while exercising. They’re great if you don’t have cable but still want to keep up with current events.
You may listen to them while doing other things; multitasking is a woman’s finest quality! I don’t have cable, but I like to be up to date on the news, so I can listen to a podcast while I’m cleaning or cooking; if I were sitting down watching the news, I wouldn’t be able to do anything else. I could also read fresh articles online, but that would confine me to just one thing. Diet, health, fitness, fashion, and local and national news podcasts are among my favorite topics.
Many studies have been conducted to determine the mental health advantages of podcasts. According to one study, podcasts trigger mental images more powerfully than viewing or reading. Podcasts are listened to rather than seen. Listeners are forced to use their imagination to create mental images. People who frequently listen to podcasts have a stronger and more vivid imagination.
Podcasts also assist us in becoming better listeners. Because they are all about hearing, they help us appreciate the simple act of listening. Podcasts enable us to become part of what we’re listening to. Podcasts make us actively listen by engaging different parts of the brain.
Another significant advantage of listening to podcasts is the ability to learn about new topics. That is such a basic, obvious notion, yet it is well worth noting! Podcasts are available in a range of durations, so you can listen to an episode even if you only have a half-hour. If you don’t complete listening in one sitting, you can always resume listening on your phone, computer, or tablet! There is nothing to lose by including podcasts in your regular routine.
Making podcasts a regular part of your routine has nothing to lose and everything to gain. There is a podcast for everyone, whether you want to learn a new skill, stay up with the news, manage your money better, or just need a pep talk. It’s incredibly incredible, and we have these resources at our disposal at no cost! Find anything that interests you and give it a listen today, if you haven’t previously.
