Many believe that podcasts will increase their listening level, but I'm here to tell that it can help with 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 more. What I mean by this is that podcasts are listened to for ideas, speaking is about verbalizing the brainstormed ideas, so there is an overlap between the two. In a nutshell, 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘂𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿, thus avoiding the filling words : 'Ehh, Hmm, Well so forth'.

Here are some I found informative:

1. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗲?

2. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝗯𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗹?
How rejections affect us mentally and physically.

3. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲?

4. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗳𝘂𝗹?
Learning to connect ideas and speak eloquently.
