However, they can also very often result in the brain making the wrong decisions, or preferring answers and ideas which are less creative.

Podcasts have become a familiar aspect of our cultural landscape. When they first emerged in the early 2000s, they were considered to be a niche concept and unlikely to compete with radio. However, a recent study found that 32% of Americans now listen to a podcast at least once a month. As a result, it has grown into a rich and varied audio form, with contributors ranging from amateurs with nothing more than a microphone and a laptop to major news and entertainment studios.
