Happy CNY and Valentine’s Day in advance, everyone! We’ve got a long weekend ahead of us. While heading out (with precautions) may already be on your schedule, choosing to stay in is still advised. If you do choose to stay in, then chances are your long weekend will be all about binge-watching dramas and films on streaming platforms. But if you’re already tired of mindlessly scrolling through your watchlist, what do you say about changing things up a bit and turning to edutaining podcasts instead? More and more creators and known personalities like Michelle Obama and Oprah have recently turned to podcasts to drive conversations about almost every topic. It’s probably because it’s a medium where people can easily listen in even when you’re on the go (compared to watching a vlog, for example). On top of that, it evokes nostalgia for live radio shows. Despite it being a thing since 2004, podcasts are pretty much gaining huge traction lately because of its long-form and intimate format. Ready to trade your watchlist for a podcast stream? Hit play on these Spotify playlists to get started.
