It's like listening to a single small speaker on your television or cell phone. Certain audio such as music when presented in mono sounds dull and flat with no ambient characteristic. Think of old-time radio or AM radio in the car (remember AM radio?). Mono, which is actually an abbreviation for the term "monaural" or "monophonic" literally means one channel of sound, coming from one direction. Have you ever wondered what they really mean? Think of the two terms as adjectives - descriptive terms for the 'direction' that an audio signal is presented to the listener. I'm sure you've heard the terms Mono and Stereo over the course of your podcast setup.
