Instead of listening to music while I work out, I prefer to listen to podcasts. However, I don’t listen to just any podcasts; I listen to podcasts about famous unsolved murders. Listening to unsolved murder stories pumps my adrenaline up even more while I’m at the gym. I mostly like them because they are very informative, but also because it helps me look forward to working out. I started to listen to podcasts because of my sociology teacher, but then I continued to listen to them after his class ended. I must admit, I easily get freaked out by scary stories and movies, but listening to creepy podcasts in the gym, where there are plenty of people around, helped me become less scared. Also, listening to podcasts helps expand your imagination because instead of a movie or show, you must imagine what is being said while listening to a podcast. The first podcasts I listened to were solved murders. I liked having a happy ending to the story. I would even guess in the beginning who I thought the suspect would be and see if that matched with who really committed the murder. Then, I got tired of solved cases because there was a pattern of who the suspect could be. That led me to listen to unsolved cases, which allowed me to solve the case myself. It also left me creeped out and constantly thinking about the case. Unsolved murder podcasts quickly become addicting and instead of watching a series, you end up listening to them all day and night. Not only did I listen to them in the gym, but I also would listen to them on my commutes and even to sleep. Listening to podcasts is so convenient because you don’t need the internet to listen to them. You can download them beforehand and listen anywhere at any time. I recommend getting into podcasts because there are so many genres out there, and they’re great for learning and entertainment.
