Reasons podcasts are the actual best:
- Two words: free entertainment. No matter how you listen to music, you have access to a ton of podcasts.
- If you’re feeling a little bored of your musical playlists, turn on a podcast! We’re willing to bet you’ll get hooked, binge several episodes, then when you’re ready to tune back into your music you’ll be astounded at all the new songs you’re hearing!
- You can find a podcast for any old topic you’re into. We’ll be talking about technology podcasts specifically, but no matter what it is you’re into, there’s a podcast out there about it.
- People tend to think that podcasts are like lectures or TedTalks, when in fact it’s like sitting down with your best friends just talking. Except you don’t get to talk, you just have to listen.
- If you’re the type that likes to just have something on while you’re cleaning house or cooking dinner, podcasts are perfect for that! Plus you learn something so that’s a win-win.
Okay, we’re all on the same page, and we all think podcasts are way cool and we totally agree that we should start listening to them if we feel we’ve been missing out, so let’s talk tech podcasts.
