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
=======
Joseph "Joe" Schember (born November 13, 1950) is an American banker and politician and is serving as the 48th Mayor of Erie, Pennsylvania. Prior to becoming Mayor of Erie, he was a PNC Bank Vice President and he served on Erie's City Council between 2006 and 2012. In April 2016, Schember announced that he would run for Mayor of Erie. As Erie is a largely Democratic city, the race was largely seen as more of a Democratic primary contest for who would become the next Mayor. Yet this logic was overturned as a faltering economy and a demographic decline paved the way for Donald Trump to carry Erie County in the 2016 United States presidential election which was the first time a Republican presidential candidate won in the county since Ronald Reagan carried the county in 1984. With the county going Republican, the city of Erie was bracing itself for its most competitive mayoral race in over 50 years.On November 7, 2017, the people of Erie voted for the next Mayor and Schember won 53% of the vote to his Republican challenger John Persinger who gained 47% of the vote. The previous Mayor, Joseph E. Sinnott, served for 3 consecutive terms from 2006 to 2018 and ran unopposed in the latest election. Erie was at a decisive moment in its history as under Sinnott, Erie was kept out of Act 47 which is reserved for financially distressed cities.
