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.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
