I'm old. I really don't get podcasting. - JaxSean Feb 5, 08:22 32
- Recorded episodes of talk radio. Period. -- nm - Mop Feb 5, 08:44 1
  - If I'm listening to something, it's music. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 5, 08:50
- I actually have been to the recording of a couple. - Spawn Feb 5, 08:33 1
  - SM is hooked, I mean obsessed with My Favorite Murder - Pippy - Blessed Trinity Feb 5, 08:50
- They've been around since the 90s... take their name from the old iPod -- nm - con_carne Feb 5, 08:32
- They are very specialized. Listening to some that are specific to a passion of yours, instead of recommended ones, by others, is key. -- nm - Flavorize Feb 5, 08:31
- I listen to podcasts all day, I love them. I enjoy a good historical story, funny stories and crime stories to name a few. -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 5, 08:30 10
  - Yup. I have them on in my office all day. A mix of news, tech, and other stuff. - spamlet Feb 5, 08:38
  - This is where I'm at. Sadly, most music podcasts can't actually play the music because it runs afoul of fair use. -- nm - con_carne Feb 5, 08:34 1
    - Hmmm... I didn't think of that issue with the music -- nm - Krusty Feb 5, 08:52
  - I like some of the YouTube shows that do historical battles. I need the images to keep my attention -- nm - Beaker Feb 5, 08:33 4
    - Those are awesome! I get where you're coming from but if the narrator isn't dry and adds some wit the podcasts can suck you in. - Krusty Feb 5, 08:39
    - I could see listening while commuting, maybe. But yeah, if I am just sitting, there better be a screen. -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 08:34 2
      - I'm walking and listening or commuting and listening but I'll throw them on while I clean, cook, shower, etc. -- nm - Krusty Feb 5, 08:40
      - yep -- nm - mud Feb 5, 08:38
  - True crime is my favorite -- nm - decline Feb 5, 08:31 1
    - That's easily the subject I listen to the most followed by history and sports. My favorite is still Doug Loves Movies which is a comedy game show -- nm - Krusty Feb 5, 08:32
- I love them, but that's me. - Dark Callisto Feb 5, 08:27 1
  - *Fist Bump* This Week In Tech was my gateway but I love podcasts and I think it could be their multitasking friendliness - JD Feb 5, 08:42
- I "get" it, but it doesn't appeal to me; when I had a long bus commute it was OK, but that was a decade ago. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 08:26 2
  - I mean, yeah, I *get* it. They just are not even on my radar for anything. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 5, 08:29
  - Now, vlogs and internet shows, that's another kettle of surstromming -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 08:28
- Like anything with a billion of them, some are great, some are awful. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 08:26
- I'm not a music guy so they're great for me on my nightly walk with my dog -- nm - decline Feb 5, 08:25 1
  - yeah, some on ST like them for commutes -- nm - Beaker Feb 5, 08:26
- I like the short ones. Slow News Day on The Ringer I find entertaining and I like TSG and Sal guessing the lines; but otherwise I'm with you - Beaker Feb 5, 08:25
- yeah I still don't know what they are and where they are. - mud Feb 5, 08:24 4
  - You can listen to them in Spotify. They're like old radio shows. You can search by topic and you'll find hundreds of shows. - Krusty Feb 5, 08:35
  - Some of them are literally just public radio shows you can download - Reagen Feb 5, 08:28 2
    - you should do one, with all the work you did on Canadian ♫ those 2 or 3 weeks !! -- nm - mud Feb 5, 08:33 1
      - I'm not nearly knowledgable enough for that. I do think BOP's MMQB would have worked as one though. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 08:34
- They seem to be great for putting me to sleep. -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 08:23
To me that is the only thing that makes sense -- nm - JD Feb 5, 08:12
Yes. They’re buying Simmons. -- nm - spamlet Feb 5, 08:12 2
- That's what they think! Well this sportswriter can't be b... Oh, wow that's a lot of zeros. -- nm - Bill Simmons Feb 5, 08:39
- I was thinking that he might have one of the most Internet careers ever which made me look up his history which is crazier than I knew - JD Feb 5, 08:26
