like i can never sit down and listen to them say pointless s*** for hours with 0 talking points that capture my attention actively. like ive asked my friend who is a podcast nerd to rec me some podcasts and i aint like one of em. only podast i ever really tuned into was podkA$$t from Frugal Aesthetic just because its not that long and he's an interesting personality. most of the podcasts i see are dominated by bigoted white men.

u gotta find good ones

It's nice if you're learning a new language (anything is good content then)

Or, if it's talking about something in a specialized subfield (e.g. phd holding historian)

Or, if the host actually knows what they're talking about - e.g. someone who brings on exclusive guests (for example podcasts hosted by ex players)

ive really only found one i like

Fr I much rather listen to new music

It’s just you tbh probably the least draining for me cause I just put em on while I’m doing something else

tbh music is more captivating

just say you have 80HD nigga

i cant get into podcasts or audiobooks... i would much read or watch the content being presented to me

peak anime character

I ACTUALLY F***ING DO

I got really drained on them for a bit but then I realized I was only listening to like NPR type ones. Can only listen to so many white nerd opinions tbh

now I mainly listen to sports/comedy/cooking/personal finance ones

nigga if you can watch 1k episodes of f***in one piece you can watch a 40 min podcast

me too 🤝

exactly i like reading books in hand but something about having someone read it to me makes me feel powerless

on ep 170 rn

some audiobooks are better tbh

like Anthony Bourdain's books because he narrates them too

I also really enjoyed the Shoe Dog audiobook

i like movies and shows too just something about podcasts that make me wanna take a cat nap idk they just suck

sometimes its harder to digest information as a audiobook tbh

depends on the book imo

Actually me when doja cat post a pic with her tiddies out

structured podcasts exist you know

i think when i listen to audiobooks it goes in one ear and straight out the other

op’s attention span doesn’t last longer than a tik tok video

This the social media era so everyone thinks their opinion is worth an hour long episode
