There are numerous differences between texts and podcasts. A podcast and a written text is used for specific purposes. A podcast may express emotions, tone, stress, and emphasis on topics better than a written text. On the other hand, a written text can show specific details that may be understood by those who have the need to read instead of listen. A podcast has the advantage of using a voice. Having a having a voice may express emotions within each word of every sentence, and explain the importance of a quote without even using extra words. Words within a  podcast can be stressed by tone to create an emphasis on a specific subject. Even part of a sentence that does not have emphasis on it means that it will be less noticed than other specific words. When someone listens to how a person speaks. Words spoken can be interpreted into different meanings. Words may be stated to mean one idea, or added with another tone to completely mean something different. A word can be used to ask a question, or can be used to make a firm statement with a firm voice. In podcasts a tone makes the biggest difference when presenting a case than from a written text. How someone writes and uses tone within their words makes a text work. Emotion, voice, tone, and emphasis on sentences makes a podcast. Words within texts must be organised to make clear sense to a reader, but words and grammar structure may be moved around to make a statement sound more interesting. Podcasts are a great way to give a persons opinion through voice, but written text also has its advantages itself. In the real world,  people never prefer one type of material. Everyone needs something different to learn information.
