Reading vs. Listening
Transcribing a podcast is key. Studies found that most people prefer to skim through the transcripts of videos first, before deciding whether to listen or watch the whole thing. With a generation of information overload, the reader would prefer the option to have an ‘at-a-glance’ look which is easy to make a decision from there. The transcript offers a rough idea of what the podcast is all about. Subsequently, listening is often prone to all manner of distractions compared to reading.
