Podcasts

[dragonfliet]

I honestly do not understand how people enjoy podcasts. They run too long, they ramble too often, they go on tangents and get lost and they sound like crap. It's like listening to the radio, only noone has a good voice and they say "uh" incessantly. On top of that, sitting in front of my computer listening to someone is not for me, I'd much rather read an article and doing both at once means the podcast is simply ignored. I've tried and tried and I just can't seem to get it.

That being said, I know people love their podcasts. What do you listen to and when do you listen to it? Enlighten me.

Junkies Radio Podcast. I used to work for them, and since I work in the morning, sometimes I miss the show, so I pick up the podcast to hear some of their botches. (there is always a botch)

What station did you work for?

[Airmoran]

NPR Hourly podcasts. Hey, it's NPR without the god-awful talkshows.
Beyond that, I do occasionally listen to IGN or PCGamer's podcasts. They're useful for passing the time on busses.

CNet's Buzz Out Loud, This Week In Tech (and it's derivatives). Excellent producing on those ones.

NPR's WFUV Take 5 is pretty cool too. Excerpts from interviews with musicians is a great way to get exposed to all kinds of music you might not normally pay attention to.
