Do you prefer listening to podcasts or watching the same topics on YouTube?

I prefer listening to podcasts, especially while driving. It's more relaxed, helps pass the time, and I can learn something along the way.

@bonvisions That's great! Do you have any favorite podcasts that you recommend?

Prefer to listen. More of the podcasts are only audio-related so why should I watch the speaker? Of course sometimes I am watching the podcasts.
Amit Arora
Actually it varies for me. When I am driving, then I listen and when I am looking for some interviews that interest me, then I watch. How about you?

@amit_arora I also like to mix it up based on the situation. I usually listen to podcasts when I'm doing tasks that don't require much focus. When I’m looking for deeper insights or need to follow up on specific details, I prefer to watch.

I would say YouTube because it gives you the ability to: - Watch while listening - Listen and leave your phone in the pockets (like a podcast) if at the gym or walking. You get both worlds with YouTube :)

YouTube. For some reason I just don't like the podcast apps 🤣

@nathancovey @nathancovey Haha, I was in the same boat not too long ago, but now I’ve come to enjoy them a lot

That depends on what I'm doing, but unless it's a how-to-use/do something video where you have to actually pay attention, I rather listen to Youtube than watch it, and I like listening to podcasts while exercising. Much like the previous comments 😉
Rupal Saini
I should definitely try that too! I usually just listen to music while exercising. Podcasts might be a fun change! 😄

Usually yes.. While working from Home.. the best thing I prefer is to listen to a podcast under my preferred genres... Literary all I do is take the headphones out when its not the meeting time and start the podcast and keep my work going..It somehow helps to focus as well

@shantanu_deshpande3 I might try that myself. Any favorite podcasts you’d recommend?

I like ti listen podcasts.

It depends on what I'm doing. I usually listen to something while on the go or before bed. If I have the chance to watch, I prefer that. But if I can't, just listening works too. So, my choice is YouTube, where I can listen in the background and watch when possible! :)

I usually have an educational YouTube going when I'm working.

I'm used to using yt for everything, I've almost never listened to a podcast 😅
Angela Ross
Podcasts are a great way to learn new things and keep up with the trends so I prefer podcasts.
Karen Wick
Depends on the topic and the host of the podcast.

I prefer listening to podcasts when I’m multitasking or on the go, as they allow me to absorb information without needing to watch a screen. However, I enjoy watching the same topics on YouTube when I have the time to sit down and engage visually, especially if the content includes demonstrations or visuals that enhance the understanding of the topic.
