Podcasts have been one of my preferred sources of knowledge and entertainment lately.
I like several lengthy, interview-style podcasts, with best-selling authors, experts in various fields, or people with interesting lives, who share their life philosophy and wisdom.
The hosts take the time to research the guest, read their books, prepare with interesting questions and discussion topics, while in the same time remaining open to where the conversation might take them.
After listening to a full episode of 1-2-3 hours, I feel enriched with the guest’s worldview, expertise and insight, as if I had read an interesting book.
I realized the other day, that podcasts might be the new books of the digital day.
What do you think?
