Podcasting has really taken off in the past few years. More and more people are ditching their cable subscriptions and turning to streaming platforms for all kinds of entertainment and media. No longer do you need to rely on main stream sources to get your information.
Listening to a podcast in the morning can often make it easier to get the information you want in a short amount of time, as opposed to the 24/7 live coverage you get on TV. They also can often have different and more diverse content than your typical radio show.
