An additional use of podcasting that has been a great service to thousands of people is audio tours. There are a multitude of audio tours online. Audible tours ranging from tours of ancient or historical locations to tours of specific regions or entire countries give listeners the opportunity to take part in something they may have otherwise been unable to do. Providing people with the opportunity to tour the city of Venice, Italy, even if only through an audible file, is a great gift. Recording an audible tour is often a task that many podcast broadcasters perform early in their podcasting career. This practice gives you, the podcast broadcaster, and the opportunity to build upon your abilities in describing locations and other small details strictly verbally.
