    I used to be annoyed by them, but I get it now. I started listening to them at work, it’s pretty nice to find a highly researched audio only format so I can focus on my work and learn something I care about

      Sounds like good podcasts

      99% of them are just people taking out of their ass though

        oh yea, I’ve highly curated my podcasts at work. At least 80% scripted, roughly 20-80 minutes long, no, few, or unimportant visuals, detailed analysis of the topic, and maintains a sense of humor. I very rarely add a new one to the rotation

      Those already existed. They’re audiobooks.

      And audiobooks don’t stop for ad breaks twice an hour and load up constant teases and recaps to bridge ad breaks and episodes.
