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
=======
Bost's Bread was a brand of baked  bread distributed in the Western Carolinas, Virginia and Tennessee.  Bakers in the eastern parts of the Carolinas and Virginia put out a similar product called Bunny Bread, made with nearly the same recipe.
At its height, the Bost's Bakery employed around 2,000 people in and around Shelby, North Carolina.  The products of the company became widely known in part due to the advertising antics of Arthur Smith and his Crackerjacks, whose television shows Bost's Bread sponsored on WBTV in Charlotte. Slogans like "If it's Fresher'n Bost's it's Still in the Oven", "The Best Taste You Ever Toasted", and "Baked Slow to Sell Fast" became bywords and embedded into the cultural slang-speak of the area where Bost's Bread was sold.
In the late 1970s the Bost's Bakery was sold to Wonder Bread, which operated the Bakery for a decade, adding its staple "Wonder Bread", Twinkies, frosted cupcakes and other confections to the product line alongside the bread products.
In the late 1980s the parent company of Bost's and Wonder Bread shut down the bakery, ending a tasty chapter in the history of Shelby and Cleveland County, North Carolina.  Wonder Bread and Hostess cake lines were transferred to other plants within the company.  In the early 90's the formulas or recipes, intellectual property, as well as some hardware of Bost's Bread were sold to Waldensian Bakeries, owned by the Rostan family, longtime bakers of rival Sunbeam Bread.  That company was sold in 1995 to the Flowers Baking Company which sold Bost's Bread alongside its products for a few years before phasing out the brand around the year 2000.
