Podcasts are audio digital shows you can download or listen to online. They're like radio but more flexible. You choose the topic, time, and pace at which you want to listen. It can include sports and finance, as well as comedy, mystery, and self-improvement.
Some are quite brief, say, 10 minutes, but most can go well over an hour. What makes them popular is that they go right along with everyday life. You listen while walking, driving, or even cleaning the house. What is one podcast you would refer to friends?
It is time to admit that podcasts are now part of my everyday life, particularly in the morning. I like to be able to find anyone just about any topic and how flexible they are. I have suggested The Daily to a friend who likes to read fast news. You can also check it out.
I consider podcasts a superb learning tool to acquire new skills. Podcasts like How I Built This or Masters of Scale are of a particular interest and they are quite educational. I have shared them with people I work with and most found them very inspirational.
