Podcasts are one of the best forms of content consumption. They can be educational, comedy, or just conversational.

You get out of podcasts what you put in. If you want to dig deep into a topic, you will find four to five-hour-long conversations with experts. If you want it to be more chill and casual, you will find that too.

Listening to podcasts is also a very low-effort content consumption. You don’t need to be actively involved the whole time. You can play some podcasts when you are driving, doing chores around the house, or even doing some shallow work and want some background noise. No matter how you listen to it, you will always walk away with some gold nuggets of information.

The best part about podcasts though: they are FREE! Yes, sure there will be some sponsored segments but you can always skip them.
