F.A.S.T Activity Guide: Listening to Podcasts

Podcasts have become increasingly popular in recent years. Podcasts on a variety of topics are released everyday on different streaming platforms. But what happens when the attention and memory that is needed to enjoy or learn from a podcast isn’t there? What happens when a patient wants to discuss or even debate what they heard on a podcast, but the cognitive or communication skills needed aren’t there to do so?

This “Listening to Podcasts” F.A.S.T Activity Guide helps to target attention and memory primarily. However, there’s also an expressive language component as well. Inlcuded in this Activity Guide are: 

• (15) sample podcasts of different lengths and topics (health, tech, politics, finance)
• (10) specific questions targeting attention, memory, and receptive/expressive language
• (15) metacognitive reflection questions
• observations to comment on during listening experiences

*Patients can complete this activity on their own as homework OR in-session
