    Why bother with a podcast

    In the last decade YouTube has completely blown up and new platforms such as TikTok and reels have come up all these platform are video based and this has resulted in most people consuming information in the form of videos, but many of these video are half baked, not well researched and some are straight up false and spreading misinformation. This is where podcast come in, podcast are much longer form of content and therefore are more accurate and more often then not there is a credible person on the podcast who have gone through their own fair shares of struggle.

    Listening to podcasts changed my life

    Before I discovered the power of podcasts I was a complete waste man where I would sit on my computer, open my mobile, and keep it propped up on the monitor and watch countless videos which were completely pointless and half of them were complete brain rot. But I soon made this a habit, I was basically watching a video and doing my work at the same time, which resulted in not being able to do either of those properly. After realizing how much time and brain energy I was wasting I tried to quit this habit but I realized that I got too addicted and now I couldn't work without hearing a video playing in the background, this is the point where I discovered podcasts and their life-changing impact. I started listening to podcasts and now 6 months have passed with me following this habit I listen to podcasts almost every day, and have got countless life-changing ideas and thoughts from them.

    Where to listen to podcasts

    You can listen to podcasts anywhere, to be honest it doesn't matter you can listen to them on YouTube or you could listen to them on Spotify. I started listening to podcasts on Spotify too, but after some time I changed my choice of app and now I listen to my podcast on AntennaPod, which is a dedicated podcast app, your choice of platform doesn't matter but having a good platform can provide you with better features like downloading podcast, Subscription, Queue. AntennaPod offers all these for free and hence is my go-to app.
