've been skimming through or listening to Big Think podcast for quite a while, but I didn't know all articles are provided with audio! This is amazing!! I've tried several media or blogs to find out the good articles to learn English, but so far I couldn't find the one I feel like using every day. Some are too easy or too difficult, and others don't have audio. 

I think articles in Big Think are just right for me; the topics are insightful and intriguing, new articles are frequently updated, and there are appropriate amounts of unfamiliar words for me in each article. 

Additionally, I happen to read an article about habit making. I believe how well you can make a good habit holds the key to a blissful and healthy senior life.
