5 Reasons To Listen To Podcasts

So podcasts seem lame, to some anyway. It is like an hour-long talk show that we can watch on TV, except, we only hear them.

Which for some can be an issue. You have to pay a lot of attention to it.You can't just nonchalantly listen to it while you are watching a movie or reading a book because you won't grasp all of the content.

But, sitting in the car, just laying in bed, just relaxing-- these are the perfect moments to absorb that content.

And let me give you 10 reasons why you should.

1.You can learn something new

You never know what people are going to talk about these days. It could be something you know nothing about, and you could learn everything about it.

2. You will probably laugh... a lot.

Podcasts are usually done by nerds who care a lot about one subject no one else does, or some goofy people chilling out in your own element, The intention is to entertain. What is the best entertainment to get attention in today's world? Make people laugh. So, you're probably going to hurt from all this laughter.

3. You can get nerdy with some of your favorite things.

Are you really into Movies? Movie Night with JL Media. Really like the Walking Dead? Indy Drinking Dead.You like it, you name it, it is probably there! You can find almost anything on a podcast! If YouTubers can make money playing video games, so can a podcast guy.

4. It is the new radio.

Radio was bigger once, years ago. And it is coming back in a big way. Internet radio or podcasts essentially are one of the newest trends.And who doesn't want to get on board with that?

5. You never know what you're going to get.

This is life. And weird things can happen live. The hosts of the show can stumble their words, the co-hosts can bring up something that turns the tides of the conversation- anything can happen. Podcasts are more real world than anything I have ever experienced on air. Anything can happen.


So if you still aren't sure, just listen to one. You never know what you are going to feel, hear, or find.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
