In fact, studies show that the brain is more active while listening to podcasts than when watching television. Whether you want to learn about entertainment, history, applied sciences, money, or any number of other topics, there’s a podcast out there to teach you.
You can find and download top podcasts from such places as iTunes and Stitcher, as well as in apps like Downcast and Pocket Casts.
