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
=======
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is an American science fiction television series that debuted in broadcast syndication on January 3, 1993. The series ran for seven seasons until 1999. The show was spun off from Star Trek: The Next Generation which debuted in 1987, with characters inhabiting a shared fictional universe. Deep Space Nine was developed by executive producers Rick Berman and Michael Piller, who together wrote the series bible. The show was filmed primarily on the Paramount Studios lot in Los Angeles, California.Siddig El Fadil, later known as Alexander Siddig was an early front runner for the part of Captain Benjamin Sisko. Ultimately the producers thought he was too young for the role and instead offered him the part of Dr. Julian Amoros, who was subsequently renamed to Julian Bashir. It was originally intended to have Ro Laren, a character from The Next Generation as a main character. However, after actress Michelle Forbes declined to sign on for a five- to six-year commitment for the series, the part was re-written to become Major Kira Nerys, with Nana Visitor cast in that role. For similar reasons, Famke Janssen turned down the role of Jadzia Dax when offered, with Terry Farrell becoming the last main cast member to cast with filming already underway on "Emissary". Two actors who considered for main roles went on to be cast as recurring characters: Andrew Robinson was beaten to the role of Odo by René Auberjonois, but was cast as the Cardassian tailor/spy Elim Garak; similarly, Max Grodénchik lost the role of Quark to Armin Shimerman, but was subsequently cast as that character's brother, Rom.There were several actors who appeared in Deep Space Nine in roles they had previously played in other Star Trek series. The most prominent of these was Colm Meaney, who played Chief Miles O'Brien. Meaney had first appeared as an unnamed crewman in the pilot episode, "Encounter at Farpoint", and went on to appear in a total of 52 episodes of The Next Generation. O'Brien's wife, Keiko O'Brien, was a recurring character, as played by Rosalind Chao. At one point before the start of The Next Generation, Chao had been considered by producers to be the favourite for the part of Tasha Yar. Majel Barrett appeared as Lwaxana Troi, having also originally appeared in The Next Generation. She was intended to be one of the six major recurring characters in the new show, and also continued to voice the Starfleet computers as seen in the earlier series. Before appearing as Troi, Barrett had appeared in The Original Series and two Star Trek films as Christine Chapel as well as Number One in the original pilot "The Cage".The series had several long-running antagonists. Marc Alaimo portrayed Gul Dukat, the Cardassian former commander of Deep Space Nine who later led his people into joining the Dominion. Dukat had been included in the series bible as a recurring character described as someone who "represents the continuing threat to our people". There were several Dominion characters who appeared from the third season onwards including Salome Jens as the Female Shapeshifter, and Jeffrey Combs as Weyoun. Combs was unique in Deep Space Nine for simultaneously playing two recurring characters, both Weyoun and the Ferengi Brunt in the same episode, "The Dogs of War".The fourth season saw a change in direction for the series with the producers asked to "shake up the show" by Paramount, and the addition of a main cast member. Rick Berman suggested adding a Klingon contingent to the show, which including the return of Michael Dorn to play ...
