I appeared on Jeopardy earlier this year, and podcasts were a key part of my studying regime. For example, I reviewed American presidential history by listening to a podcast called American Presidents: Totalus Rankium, a history podcast hosted by two British comedians. This was effective for me on many levels: - the outsider comedian commentary helped add a level of critique and emotion to the material, which made it much more memorable - the presidents' lives overlap, so there's this helical effect of retreading the same material - it also served to review generic American history On the whole, this was much more engaging and effective than a Wikipedia binge. I did also use Wikipedia to explore tangents that my listening brought to my attention.
