Here are a few tips for listening to podcasts:
- Listen at a higher speed like 1.5 speed. Some speakers are faster than others, so you may have to play with it. On the iphone do this by playing the podcast, and then expanding it up, so just tap on the play band at the bottom.
- Have a few podcasts saved and downloaded so that you can listen on a walk or anywhere else that might not be wifi accessible.
- Carry headphones for these times 🙂
- Have a notebook handy, or pause and take a voice memo, or type a note on your phone, for those really good tidbits of information.
- Most of the time any resources mentioned will be available on the podcast webpage.
