Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
William Thad Cochran (; born December 7, 1937) is an American politician and attorney who served as a United States Senator from Mississippi from 1978 to 2018.  A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1973 to 1978.
Born in Pontotoc, Mississippi, Cochran graduated from the University of Mississippi.  He served in the United States Navy as an ensign (1959–1961) before graduating from the University of Mississippi School of Law.  After practicing law for several years in Jackson, Mississippi, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1972.  He served three terms in the House representing Jackson and portions of southwest Mississippi.
Cochran won a three-way race for U.S. Senate in 1978, becoming the first Republican to represent Mississippi in the Senate since Reconstruction.  He was subsequently reelected to six additional terms by wide margins.  He was Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee from 2005 to 2007 and again from 2015 to 2018.  He also chaired the Senate Agriculture Committee from 2003 to 2005.  With over 45 years of combined House and Senate service, Cochran was the second longest-served member of Congress ever from Mississippi, only after former Democratic Congressman Jamie L. Whitten.
Cochran resigned from the Senate on April 1, 2018, due to health concerns.
