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
=======
Richard Juico Gordon (born August 5, 1945), known as Dick Gordon, is a Filipino politician and broadcaster who currently serves as a Senator of the Philippines and the chairman of the Philippine Red Cross.
As a politician, Gordon gained national prominence as the chairman of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority during the administration of President Fidel Ramos, and as Secretary of Tourism under the administration of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. In 2004, he was elected as Senator under the senatorial ticket of President Arroyo. He ran for President in the 2010 Philippine elections as the standard-bearer of Bagumbayan - Volunteers for a New Philippines, but was unsuccessful in his bid. In 2013, Gordon declared his intention to run in the 2013 election for a position in either the Senate or in the local government. He ran for the Senate under the United Nationalist Alliance coalition in that election, but failed to earn a seat having placed thirteenth. Gordon ran again in the 2016 election, this time as an independent, where he placed fifth, garnering a seat.
Apart from his current position in the Red Cross, he works as a broadcaster for News5. He presently hosts the radio show Aksyon Solusyon with Amelyn Veloso on Radyo5 92.3 News FM and the television show Duelo: Barilan ng Opinyon on AksyonTV.
