who needs podcasts when you can get a cab?
side note, how do people get into podcasts? they are all just dudes talking to each other. it's so boring
-
Most podcasts aren't even dudes talking to each other it's more like talking over each other so they can be the center of attention, I hate the annoying loud group of men half screaming bad jokes at each other trying to be funny and fake laughing
-
It helps if you have interests
-
sadly when I do have interests, those podcasts are just small talk with a tiny dose of actual info about my interest.
I'd rather watch a 4 hour essay about said topic than 40 minutes of some dudes chatting unscripted
-
I can't seem to find a podcast centered around endlessly scrolling social media sites.
-
-
There are plenty of podcasts with women, you just have to scroll down a bit
-
no offence, but at best they are still boring.
it's just people yapping.
-
That's literally all human communication.

and most of Shakespeare etc

$0.02: much like AM radio (is/was), it's basically a "2nd screen experience." Put it on in the car or while you're doing something else. Most of these do not deliver enough information or laughs per minute to demand your full attention. The exception are programs that are meticulously scripted, narrated, edited, produced, and sometimes acted, like NPR and the occasional oddball thing like Nightvale.
-
Clearly you just need to listen to dudes talking to each other about Star Trek instead
-
only if they actually talk about Star Trek, rather than doing smalltalk.

I enjoy Breaking Points which actually covers current political news critically https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LkUaBttFtg
-
Heck yeah, Breaking Points is awesome! I especially like the episodes hosted by Ryan and Emily.
-
I love Ryan but Emily is truly as snakey as it gets. She will change her position based on whatever show she's on. And she refuses to say on Breaking points what she says elsewhere. At least Saagar isn't changing his position based on whatever talkshow he's on and he's racist everywhere.
-
Oh, interesting. I don't watch a lot of politics media, mostly just Breaking Points, so I haven't seen her on any other platform. I'll look out for her appearances on other shows. Thanks for the insight!

You find the ones that aren't boring and listen to those.
Of course they're just people talking to each other. It's an audio-only medium! Some of them are boring and some of them are entertaining.
Have you never heard of talk radio? I feel almost like I'm explaining music or movies to somebody who's never heard of them before.
-
They are many types of podcasts. Just got to find one that fits your interests and captures your attention.
-
I once had one that constantly switched radio stations in like a five second cycle and farted on the whole ride. I'd take even the most boring podcast over that.
Side note, I'm listening to a true crime podcast at the moment, and I really do enjoy it.
-
Maybe try "If Books Could Kill" - it is two dudes talking but they're both hilarious and the episodes revolve around reviewing airport/shitty books. Their relationship/interaction is great.
