Podcast

A podcast is a digital audio program that has become a trend.  For me It’s interesting to listen to podcast because, I can find different topics such as: news, politics, comedy, entertainment and educational. I usually listen to different podcast on Spotify platform. I think this platform is part of podcast because it’s a way that people can listen to podcasts for free. It strikes me that many people are currently sharing their opinions, their knowledge and creating creative content. In this blog entry, fist I’ll talk about the impact that podcast have had on society; then, I’ll tell you about what are the characteristics that we must have to start a podcast; finally, I want to share about the podcast that I’d heard.

Lately I’ve found people who listen to podcast and they have recommended many topics to me but, I think that each person has the option of choosing what they want to listen. Podcasts have become a trend, it’s as if people were talking about a novel that tells real life experiences. Before, I could listen to these Issues on the radio when the commentators express their opinions and through telephone messages people commented but, there was no direct communication as it is now through social network. There is undoubtedly an impact on society because they have become more expressive.

I believe that a successful podcast must have a nice creative topic that attracts attention and that can have content that improves our lives. They must have a regularity in their publication, an adequate duration, a clear structure, good sound quality and a good promotion strategy. Lately I’ve been watching podcast because it has caught my attention that I can find topics of my interest for example, now that I’m studying English, I’m listening to a podcast called “Dialogues in English” by Amigos Ingleses. They share topics in which I can learn vocabulary in English. I think that a few media that has all the characteristics that we need to be able to improve in education.

Well, I’ve been listening to a podcast called “How to make good things happen to you?” by Maria Rojas Estape. She is a Psychologist who shares the experiences she has had with her patients. One of the topics that caught my attention the most was the following: “The effect of Tik Tok on our brain.” This topic caught my attention because I realized that I was wasting a lot of time using this social network that does have benefits but, I was becoming obsessed. This podcast has helped me see reality and to think that I can improve my life.

In summary, a podcast is a medium in which people can express themselves by taking a specific topic. Nowadays we have many benefits using podcasts and each person has the option to choose what they want to listen to. Podcasts have become a popular trend for people to share their opinions, knowledge and creative content.
