Podcasts are a great way of listening to high-quality content at any time. They are a great source of knowledge and information provided – for the most part – for free. 

They provide stimulation to our brain and also help ignite mental imagery. This happens because we are only listening and not watching something, so it forces us to use our imagination to build pictures in our mind about what we are listening to. 

Are you looking for a new array of listening material? Get ready to stimulate your brain with our five favorite podcasts:
