    I get this is an attempt at a joke but…who cares? Something that seems stupid and pointless to one person is fascinating to another. Niche interests are always fun to explore.

    Also, if someone wants to do a podcast on the anthill in their backyard, why not? It’s not hurting anybody. They’re just making something, and I admire anyone that follows through on actually making something and puts it out there, even if it’s not great. Just let people enjoy their lives, y’all.

    To be fair, the more podcasts, the more competition in making podcasts more high quality, the more quality podcasts I can listen to, the more reason I have to do boring chores or exercises.

    Yay to podcasts.

    Ironically, if my local government started a podcast about projects in my city, I would probably listen to it.

    I only search for podcasts that interest me anyway. If someone made a podcast about something that doesn’t need to be a podcast I’d never hear about it so why would I care?

      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.
