I’ve tried podcasts at least 10 times — I just can’t pay attention to them. My mind drifts and it becomes background noise. I’m an avid reader and prefer reading to videos or podcasts.

That’s why I like them for driving I only really half pay attention to what they’re saying but it keeps my mind occupied enough that I can focus on the road

I tried this too — missed my exit! But oddly, not with talk radio (like NPR). I can’t figure out what the issue is!

I actually started with NPRs podcast Up First(~10 minutes) and NYT the Daily(~25) and have built a decent variety of short morning news podcasts.

I find that podcasts are like baseball: best listened to WHILE doing other things. If I'm taking a mid-day walk around the neighborhood or I'm doing yardwork or maintenance around the house, a podcast is the perfect companion.

That's what they're best for though: background noise. I put them on when on public transportation or driving, going for a walk, doing the dishes, cleaning, sitting in a waiting room, etc.

The number of different advertisers who sponsor them however has stayed at an even four plus the same damn ad for peoples podcasts you have no interest in listening to.

We need more of our favorite / most hated YouTubers to step up to the plate and take their career to the next low

If you gain 80% then lose 80%, you still lost a hell of a lot more than you gained

If I did the math correctly you’re losing everything you gained plus 64% of what you started with so you’re only left with 36% of your initial group.
