Technology has brought tools which have made learning possible under any imaginable environment. We now have eBooks which are accessible using any reading device, and thus you can read on the go. There also audiobooks which you can listen to while carrying out other duties.

Now enter podcasts. A podcast can be defined as “a digital audio file made available on the internet for downloading to a computer or portable media player, typically available as a series, new instalments of which can be received by subscribers automatically. They are a fantastic learning and marketing tool. They allow experts to bring a variety of ideas and perspectives to their audiences. Their format also makes them easy to produce and listen to. It is a very simple process: you just download the file, plug in earphones, and go about your regularly scheduled life. Go jogging, get a workout, cook dinner, or just take a walk and learn about something worthwhile at the same time. What more could a busy you ask for? I have made it a habit to listen (I use sub-woofers) to podcasts while preparing dinner or any other time when I am relaxing and doing any of these habitual tasks. I couldn’t have asked for anything else. I have particularly been a constant listener to the entrepreneur on fire, James Altucher show, School of Greatness and Tim Ferris Show.
