The Greatest Podcasts in the World Right Now

Podcasts are seeing a real resurgence in popularity in recent times. While gaming, streaming movies and random short clips on YouTube have become a rage, podcasts have slowly started getting a rather huge fanbase. There are podcasts on almost every subject in the world and it’s like tuning into the radio in the bygone era.

Podcasts aren’t really a crazy innovation like commercial space travel about which you can find out more here. However, the simplicity of the podcasts is what makes it so unique. It’s really just about the content and the better the content is, the more popular it becomes. There really is no shortcut to this. If you get the best in the business to talk about their favourite subject in-depth for hours, people will tune in to listen to it. The thing about podcasts is that it’s like gaining knowledge about a particular subject without necessarily having to read lengthy books about.

For example, you can find out about genetics by listening to two genetic engineers talk about it.

Some people say it’s like having a liquid diet as opposed to books which is akin to eating solids. The other advantage is that you can listen to podcasts at your convenience and you can also let it run in the background as you carry on your chores pausing to concentrate on the parts that interest you. Some podcasts have millions of followers and we have listed out some of the best podcasts in the world for you.
