Below are three benefits on why you should use a podcast in your day to day life.
1. The Variety of Contents
There is a lot of content whatever you want, like language learning, news, and hobbies. For those who do not have a TV in their home, it is going to be a good way to know what is happening in society. Compared to SNS, listening to a podcast is an active way to stay in touch with information. This variety of content might let you know something new and interesting.
2. Good Use of Time
For those who are busy but want to acquire a new language, it may be a solution to use their limited time effectively because they can study on their way home hands-free.
In addition, during cooking, running, and taking your dog walk, listening to podcasts can make your time management more meaningful and worthwhile.
3. Fee-Free
Some podcasts can be used for free on Apple podcasts and Spotify. While university students want to improve their skills such as presentation skills, creativity, and catching up with the information in the world, they have a lot to do, not only study but also club activity, travel with friends, and so on.
