Why I'm Addicted to Podcasts!

I love Podcasts

After switching from Samsung S4 smart phone back to the iPhone, I’ve discovered a new world that has truly changed the way I consume knowledge.  The world of Podcasts!

Before listening to podcasts, I was consuming knowledge through:

  • Books (physical & digital)
  • Online articles/blog posts
  • School
  • Conferences, Seminars, Workshops

But all those channels wouldn’t allow me to multi-task (I could be wrong about the school part because I would be on Facebook while the teacher was lecturing).
With podcasts, I’m able to consume them while..

  • Driving (to work, drop/pickup my daughter from school)
  • Working on the computer
  • At the gym
  • Walking

Being able to consume knowledge while I was driving and working out is simply priceless.  Those 2 activities would require usually 2 hours of my daily routine.  Before I would simply listen to the radio or whatever was playing at the gym and think about a million things.  But now, I’m actually digesting new thoughts, ideas and perspectives from podcasters that have interesting life experiences to learn from.

You should really give it a try…it might actually allow you to discover your true passion.

Here’s a short list of some podcasts I’m currently subscribed to:

  1. I have converted to listening to podcasts a long time ago. Music is fun, but I find podcast more engaging. You could be doing whatever it is that you have to do and be listening to a podcast where you could educate yourself. I’m glad you’re on that path. i will give those suggestions a try.

  3. Wow, amazed to see my show listed here. Thank you so much! I am among giants in your list, for sure, so I’m very honored.

    Thanks again.
