Learning Capacity Podcast: Conversations About Learning & Neuroscience

How do you like to get your information and learn new things? By reading? Watching videos? Attending classes? Listening to audio?

Probably some combination of these. They all have their benefits and drawbacks depending on your preferred learning style (visual, auditory, kinaesthetic) what you're trying to learn, and where you are at the time.

Listening to audio, for example the radio or podcasts, has the advantage of allowing you to do something else at the same time. I don't read when I'm driving, of course, or while getting breakfast. But I do listen to the news and current affairs programs and also to podcasts that interest me.
