Podcasts That Need To Be Your Go-To Source for Informative Insights
Remember the times when each house had the entire collection of the WORLD books, Encyclopedias, or the Time Life books in our homes? Getting information was tough, and we wanted to be sure we had easy access to reliable sources for the same.
Then the internet came into the picture, and single-handedly changed the way we seek out and consume information. From blogs to vlogs, we have come a long way and have seen a plethora of media being employed for disseminating knowledge. While the media trends keep changing, it is important to capture the more informative sources which can easily be tapped into when needed.
An increasingly popular medium for building your arsenal of data today is podcasts. They are easy to access, can be consumed on the move or during work breaks, and can help get insights from so many different people, in myriad spaces. We thought we would put together a list of people who are producing such podcasts, covering different and interesting topics, which you should keep bookmarked as sources of regular, relevant, and right information -
