Lessons To Be Learned From Podcasts

Audio storytelling is one of the most fun ways of discovering new things. And fortunately, there is a wide variety of podcasts to choose from nowadays: from scary stories podcasts to sarcastic daily shows that make fun of what we are truly afraid of. Keep on reading this article to discover the best lessons to be learned from podcasts. 

A Fun Way To Acquire Random Knowledge 

Honestly, Podcasting is such a trend right now that there are so many podcasts about random information that you never thought you ever care about or need in everyday life but that’s the beauty of it, random knowledge podcasts like Stuff You Should Know or History That Doesn’t Suck can teach you so much about an everyday trend or past topics that will make you feel so smart and on sync with the world. 

We Are Not Alone 

Discussion podcasts like We Well Being or Becoming Wise are really relatable no matter what situation you’re in. Indeed, podcasts can tell us that we aren’t that much different from each other and that no matter what we’re going through right now, someone else somewhere in the world is going through them too. 

The Power Of Stories 

Jk Rowling once said, “The stories we love best do stay with us forever”. I think we have all heard a story or two that hit home and we couldn’t forget about, whether a scary story or a completely hilarious one,  podcasts have the ability to tell really amazing, relatable, informative, and heartwarming stories that will definitely stay with you forever. 

Never Give Up And Never Keep Trying 

One of the best ways to keep your motivation up is by listening to podcasts about the failures of others. Trust me on this one, when you’re failing even at a small task, it can feel like the entire world is crumbling around you. Furthermore, failure podcasts can be a great motivator to never give up and truly look for your passion. 

Don’t Judge A Podcast By Its Title 

The old saying “don’t judge a book by its cover” can truly work with podcasts. Oftentimes, a truly amazing podcast can have a horrendous title but that shouldn’t make you judge but there’s so much more than what meets the eyes. So next time you hear a title the day my life was ruined or this podcast will rock you, dive straight into it. 

Podcasts Can Teach Us To Be Ourselves No Matter What The Odds Are 

Speaking in front of a mic is no easier than speaking in front of a crowd nor is sharing your experiences with strangers from the other side of the mic. But it gives you the space to make peace with the things in your life that are making you anxious or keeping you up at night.
