What Is Podcast?

A podcast is a piece of digital media, mainly audio but sometimes video. Imagine it as a book on audio, but with shorter chapters. These files can be listened to on a computer or a portable device like an MP3 player or a smart phone. They are disseminated through the Internet. In some ways, podcasts resemble radio shows. They can be produced, distributed, and listened to by anybody. Podcasts can give you as an author a fresh outlet for promoting both yourself and your publications. iTunes and other programmes can be used to archive podcasts. They can be downloaded to your computer and range in duration, but they can also be streamed from a website.
Podcasts can be listened to on practically any device, including computers, smart phones, and MP3 players. You only need speakers and Internet connectivity. Podcasts are available because they are recorded and can frequently be downloaded into archives (like iTunes). You don’t have to wait until the radio ad is over to listen to it; you can do it anytime you like.
In the writing community, podcasts are rising in popularity. See how authors may utilise podcasts and how to make one by reading other articles on the Author Learning Centre.

Importance Of listening a Podcast:

Listening to podcasts is an excellent way of learning and expanding your knowledge. It is especially important these days in the era of always-on digital media when our attention spans are so easily scattered. A podcast does not compete for attention but rather delivers interesting and relevant topics at a comfortable pace that you can follow along with. This makes it easier to concentrate on the content, learn faster, retain more information, and engage on a deeper level. Podcasts cover a range of topics from entertainment to current events that help us stay connected and informed about the latest news and opinions. They also help us connect with different perspectives, observe various life views, or even consider possible solutions to existing problems or issues we may face in life. Listening to podcasts can be an invaluable tool in gaining new insights on a variety of topics while honing our listening skills by better understanding the context and nuances behind messages being shared.

The Oxford Union on Audible

The Oxford Union is unlike any other student organisation in the world. It is an esteemed forum that has been presenting debates and notable speakers since 1823. The country is “the last bastion of free speech in the Western world,” as former Prime Minister Harold Macmillan put it.

Many people associate the Union with its famous speaker series. Its members have heard from an amazing variety of people in fields as diverse as politics, religion, science, sports, film, and fashion. There are voices of encouragement and voices of controversy. Members of the union get the opportunity to interact with their heroes and to debate those with whom they disagree.

This series provides Audible subscribers with hand-picked recommendations for the year’s most engaging and informative Union speaker engagements.

Reflections on Change

Award-winning composer Imogen Heap teamed up with biologist and filmmaker Dan O’Neill to create Reflections on Change, which is based on the music from the first season of the Audible Original podcast Climate of Change. Here’s your chance to listen to a longer, uninterrupted version of the song.

Imogen Heap has crafted a rewarding listening experience by incorporating sounds of wildlife and the environment that were selected by Dan O’Neill. From the humpback whale, whose call is recognisable even from great distances, to the Piha, a little brown bird that is nearly impossible to identify but fills the Guyanese jungle with its unearthly call, these recordings capture a wide variety of natural sounds.

Once the music starts, try to concentrate on it and let it carry you away.
