Quoted from d0n:Do people really listen to podcasts about pinball? Why? Can't we just google to find out about the most recent mod or game coming out or game review? Do we need to have pinball shovelled into our brains 24/7 via a podcast? Are we that bored of a species that we can't sit here without constant hobby stimulation? We gotta have podcasts now?
I for one, have never listened to any podcast and never will. It seems ridiculous to me.
Rant off.
Gotta have podcasts NOW? Honest question - do you think these are the first podcasts?
Well, second honest question - when you hear someone say they "listen to a podcast" do you envision them just like standing in the center of their living room wide awake and just literally doing nothing and listening to it?
I listen to maybe 5 or so podcasts pretty regularly that I like, about all kinds of different topics. I can listen to them on my commute, when I'm at work on my headphones, cleaning the house, doing yardwork, cooking food if I'm home alone...I'd hardly call it "stimulation", just something to enjoy in the background. A lot of the podcasts I listen to don't really cover anything that would necessitate listening in real time, so I can just download them and come and go as I please.
TLDR: ok boomer.
