I cannot sit idle. It’s a problem. I just cannot sit idle. Some senses of my body need to be working or my brain will go berserk. Well, I don’t know if this is a recent thing cultivated over the days of not doing nothing and not being idle at all.

One of the most relaxing days of my life has been to not watch any screen and just put on some podcast, keep the phone away and listen to it with my eyes closed.

Focusing on the content while looking at the balcony outside and sipping my large cup of coffee until it becomes mud in my mouth is one of the dreamiest and creamiest coffee dates I have ever had. I would love a life where I’d be able to do this everyday but let’s face it, it aint gonna happen!

Out of the things I mentioned above, one of the things I can do is to listen to Podcasts. Podcasts are the best. Out of the many things mankind has invented, podcasts are truly one of the most relieving things I have ever encountered.

So, what are these podcasts I have been bragging about so much?! A lot of people already know what these are, but for the 0.0001% of the population who don’t know let me tell you what this is — it’s basically a audio file or stream which plays either a series of content or a singular content and you can either plus your headphones or connect to the bluetooth of your car to listen to it but don’t blast it out loud in the public<add_emoji>. Like any series/movies/documentary, there are different genres of a Podcast. Romance, Spiritual, specific topic related podcasts like brain-theory which you really need patience to listen to and many other such genres.

I totally love the concept of Podcasts and endorse it to anyone who pretty much meets me. Why am I so crazy about it?!! Just think, you need not spend your time while you are listening to Podcasts as you can be doing anything while you are listening to podcasts like working, walking, cooking, eating, sight-seeing, traveling, when you are bored in a car or just put up a podcast if you have no one to talk to.

Bet ya, you can’t do the same while watching a movie or a series. You need to watch the scenes, see what the hero or the protagonist is doing there, the romantic scenes for your dopamine chill. I can totally imagine the hilarious sight if you keep your head fixated to a series on your phone and bhoooom!💥 You have banged a tree or a pole in front of you. Terrible sight, isn’t it? Not with podcasts.

Often I feel, the way Podcasts are made in India and all over they just cut to the chase and not shilly-shally when it comes to content.

I love how various topics are covered and we just put our headphones on to soak up all the knowledge.

My ideal sunday would be going to park with a book and sit under a tree and put on a podcast. (The book is just for show 😛). I sleep listening to podcasts, driving by listening to good podcasts.

Now that I’ve spoken so much about Podcasts, let me also suggest you some good podcasts to start with:

I hope you have a good time with Podcasts as well.

Happy Podcasting ✨
