Podcasts: Top 22 to listen to on ART!

Podcasts are a great alternative for those who wish to listen to some of their favorite newscasters and TV personalities but don’t necessarily want to actually view the episode. Many find that they can concentrate more on what is being said, as opposed to concentrating on images or video clips that may also accompany an episode. And the best thing about podcasts is that they are available on an  “on-demand” basis, meaning listeners have the freedom to listen at their own convenience.

Podcasts are also a great way for radio personalities to interact with fans of the show and share personal stories outside of what the general public may be watching. Podcasting allows hosts to emit more of their personality and less like a “robot voiceover guy.”
