Podcasts are audio shows you can stream or download, covering everything from news and comedy to true crime and self-help. Their popularity has skyrocketed because they’re easy to access, often free, and perfect for multitasking, whether you’re commuting, cooking, or just relaxing.
Podcasts are powerful because:
🧠 They offer deep dives into topics you care about.
🎧 They feel personal, like a conversation between friends.
🌍 They’re global, with creators and listeners from every corner of the world.
🗣️ They give a voice to niche communities and underrepresented perspectives.
From iconic series like Serial and The Daily to new favorites like Therapuss and Baby, This Is Keke Palmer, podcasts have become a cultural force. Gen Z, in particular, has embraced them as a way to learn, laugh, and connect.
