I'm old. I really don't get podcasting.

Posted by JaxSean (aka JaxSean) Feb 5 '20, 08:22

I mean, I know it's talking, and I've never really listened to any talk radio or anything, and the few I've listened to I can never finish.

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
