Stimulates Mental Imagery
We’re surrounded by visual mediums and listening to podcasts can help stimulate mental imagery, much like reading a book.
We’re so dependent on visual cues that, over time, our sensory perceptions rely heavily on them, almost dulling the other senses.
When you don’t exercise your imagination, you stand to lose out on its potential.
Audio cues can stimulate the mind to tap into the subconscious to interpret concepts with a new perception, or even help you remember your past experiences
Ideas
Great ideas don’t happen in a vacuum.
Inspiration can strike while listening to others talk about topics that interest you.
Active listening can help you ask yourself probing questions and arrive at thoughts you might have otherwise neglected.
There are ample activities you can indulge in to tap into your creative mode, and podcasts are one way to get there.
Time-Efficient
With everything else on your plate, you don’t need to carve time out to listen.
Play them in the background as you go about your day, while you’re driving, cooking, or checking your emails.
Podcasts are excellent companions while you multitask. Plus — you can hit pause any time you like and return to them as you please.
