Audiobooks, voice searches, voice-activated assistants, and even a voice-based social network (ClubHouse). Companies in every sector from entertainment to technology are using the voice to stand out from the crowd, opening up a world of possibilities for us: we can learn new information, ask for directions, order products, or give instructions to devices in our automated homes. On top of all that, there is the podcast phenomenon.
During 2020’s lockdowns, there was a 38% increase in the number of podcast listeners. We had time to listen to them and then, as we came out of lockdown, we were able to follow our favourite programs while we cooked, exercised, or did housework.
There really is something for everyone: informative podcasts, narrative podcasts, professional podcasts. But have you heard about the best architecture and interior design podcasts? The Connections by Finsa team has chosen the following eight to help keep you in the know:
