It’s never too late to expand your mind, and in the information age it’s easier than ever to learn all sorts of valuable knowledge. You can do this quick and easy by taking advantage of podcasts.
Podcasting has grown dramatically in the last decade. It’s so beautiful to see a medium where anybody can share his/her insight about a specific niche or topic. To get into the game isn’t that hard, once you’ve learned the basics you can output a pleasurable audio production for your listeners.
Podcasts allow the host/producer to build a strong relationship with the listener. They will hear your voice, insights, and personal opinion on various topics.
Like legos, trust is being built after every single episode. After a few episodes the listeners will feel like they know you. If they ever saw you on the street they would come up and talk to your like a regular friend.
What I personally love about podcasts is that you can’t pretend to be somebody you’re not. If you bullshit the listeners, they will quickly catch on and your disguise will be blown.
Also, you can tune in virtually anywhere as long as you have an mp3 player. It doesn’t matter if you’re at the gym, walking you dog, jogging, doing yard work, commuting, working on the computer, or flying. Podcasts offer quality entertainment while you’re working on other tasks, allowing you to truly hit two birds with one stone.
Today we would like to introduce fifteen podcasts that you might find entertaining. While we cannot use an algorithm to identify your personal taste, we can provide you with worthy suggestions and hopefully open the doors to a new favorite show.
There are thousands of podcasts on iTunes, so finding gold is a robust job. We managed to find the top fifteen shows that deserve a play. Enjoy!
