I may need to shake up my podcast listening habits a little.
I subscribe to several tech-based podcasts which I regularly listen to. But because I am a creature of habit, I only listen to each one during certain times of the week. Plus I’m finding that I can only take so much tech talk these days, and I need some other topic to listen to.
I also subscribe to some long form, analysis based podcasts which cover a broad range of subjects, but they don’t come out on a regular schedule. So in order to “fill in the gaps”, I usually turn to some specific news based podcasts. They do come out regularly, but the news of late has been a bit anxiety inducing, and I may need take a little break from them.
So I think my regular podcast listening rotation needs something new. Might be time to start throwing in some microcasts from fellow Micro-blogers into the mix.
Leon Mika @alanralph Yeah, that's a good rule to have. I don't mind multi-hour shows — although I tend to put them off if I don't have a continuous block of time to listen to them, which does occasionally mean I never do. But what I'm finding is just an inability to listen to three or four shows talk about the same topic around the same time. It use to be that I could tolerate that, and I don't know if it's age or some other thing, but I can't really do that anymore. And it's not the fault of the shows themselves — they're just doing what they're doing.
