According to a recent study shared by The Guardian, people who listen to podcasts are more likely to be curious, open to unfamiliar experiences, and less neurotic than non-listeners.

A podcast listening habit encourages people to engage in what they call “effortful cognitive endeavors” which results in fewer negative emotions. 

Listening to your favorite podcasts creates a bond between you and the host, inspiring a greater feeling of connectedness to the world at large. Social media, on the other hand, makes people feel more disconnected from others.
