Most podcasts are free to download and listen to, and there are countless options to choose from. As long as you have an internet connection you can access a vast library of audio content and find shows that are of interest to you.
Additionally, many podcasts are produced independently, giving a voice to underrepresented perspectives and allowing for greater diversity in the media landscape.
