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.

=======
The Electric Theatre is a theatre located in Guildford, Surrey, England, which has gained a widespread reputation for promotion of the musical arts at all levels from community workshops to concerts by internationally well-known artists.The theatre is housed in a former electricity works which used to provide power to Guildford town centre.  The works lay dormant from 1968 until the building’s potential as a theatre was recognised; 1997 saw the opening of The Electric Theatre in the converted premises.
In 2017 the Guildford-based Academy of Contemporary Music signed a 20-year lease with Guildford Borough Council to operate The Electric Theatre (https://www.rhinegold.co.uk/music_teacher/acm-secures-lease-guildfords-electric-theatre/; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-38548314). The Electric Theatre had become a major regional attraction, hosting a youth theatre and hosting some events the annual Guildford Book Festival and the International Music Festival.
In 2008 a Family Festival in conjunction with the Prince of Wales' "Prince's Foundation for Children and the Arts" took place. Prior to te ACM takeover the annual Film Festivals showed a variety of classic, art house and world cinema.  Following the takeover the film festival initially showed more mainstream films before ceasing to run.
Additionally, The Electric Theatre has hosted numerous concerts by Folk and acoustic musical acts. These concerts continue under the "Electric Voices" brand and include acts such as Dick Gaughan, the Copper Family, Ashley Hutchings, Bill Caddick, Coope Boyes and Simpson.
