If you're a fan of podcasts, here's some excellent news: they're typically free or very inexpensive. There will be a few ads interspersed throughout your programming, but they are shorter and less intrusive than the ads we've come to expect on television.
The radio is so 20th century. The world has long since transitioned from the world of radio to the world of podcasts. A forced marriage between “iPod” and “broadcasting” led to the creation of the word, and while the iPod has long gone extinct, its namesake form of media is here to stay. Podcasts have fundamentally altered the manner in which people consume audio, so on September 30 we celebrate International Podcast Day!
If you’re a fan of podcasts, here’s some excellent news: they’re typically free or very inexpensive. There will be a few ads interspersed throughout your programming, but they are shorter and less intrusive than the ads we’ve come to expect on television. So long as you have a device with an audio output and an internet connection, you can listen to podcasts. If you’re new to podcasts, this is the podcast for you.
Unlike your favorite radio programs of yesteryear, the podcast you’ve recently discovered likely has an episode archive that is readily accessible. Caution is advised, however, as the requirement to remain still and watch a screen prevents Netflix binging. Due to the portability of podcasts, it is simple to consume a dozen episodes in a day and wonder where the time went. While we all have a special place in our hearts for shows such as The Wonder Years and Happy Days, episodes were typically short, self-contained stories with little opportunity for development.
Numerous podcasts model their narrative storylines after the current television trend of spanning multiple episodes or seasons. Serial on NPR is a compelling listening experience you won’t be able to put down.
