Listening to podcasts become extremely popular nowadays. It is easy and convenient. Despite watching the video, you can listen to a podcast while doing mechanical actions that didn’t require much eye attention and consciousness like — waiting in a queue, walking the dog or kid. But it is easy to get down to consuming too much audio content without a useful outcome.
The main skill of effective podcast listening is to remember and implement new knowledge.
The podcast paradox is that it is quite easy to use and quite hard to remember at the same time. Any external distraction can take you away from the topic of the podcast and forget its ideas.
Right now the best technics for learning new are “Space repetition” and “active recall”. My favorite tool for implementing space repetition and active recall while reading books is ReadWise.
Now long ago I discovered an app for highlighting & taking notes from podcasts in text form — Snipd.
Snipd does transcribe audio speech to text, breaks it into themes, and allows to make highlight of text and share it to ReadWise — win.
Transcribe episode audio content to text look like — https://share.snipd.com/episode/1ea91107-3a09-4128-93d1-3b313c9f17ba
