I dont get it. Ive tried listening to a few of them and its boring for me even if the person hosting the podcast is someone who I like for their stand up comedy or tv shows. How can people sit through podcasts for over an hour? I just fell like Id rather watch YouTube or a movie or something. Its not a fulfilling form of entertainment imo

You just don't like them. Its ok. I listen to geek history lesson pretty often because they dive deep into the history of a specific character. Publications and important arcs. Its pretty informative.

Its talk radio. If you don't like talk radio, you won't like podcasts.

It seems goofy to me to listen to it while youre sleeping, but okay. So what do you listen to when youre trying to fall asleep?

I dont get it either.

Why would I want to listen to people talking when I can listen to music in those same moments?

Don't podcasts have ads too? I was listening to one earlier and the guy who was running it gave shoutouts to his sponsors every 3 minutes lol

Time I would have been spaced out is instead filled with up to date news on topics I care about.

Listen to music when I need to focus.

I can't use them as background noise. If they're talking about something I'm interested in then they have my attention. Same reason I can't fall asleep watching tv.

They update me on things that interests me while I'm doing other things. I think of them like audiobooks. If I want a deep dive on a particular topic, podcast. If I want to binge the Adventure Zone or Critical Roll, podcast. If I'm looking for a quick (or super thorough) recap of the news or that weeks internet drama, podcast. Need a close reading literary analysis of culturally significant music, you know what's up?

For me I enjoy how you get to have a group of people being real and having authentic conversations as opposed to being on a structured program where you also have to filter yourself due to the people you work for (like say a network) inhibiting full freedom. Obviously not every podcast is the same so you have to seek ones that are tailored to your interests and preferences. I think JRE is solid and covers a wide variety of topics because of the wide variety of awesome guests he has. Maybe you should look into podcasts that are suited towards a specific interest?

Also, I commute almost 2 hours 5 days a week and that's the only time I listen. I would expect most people to also be listening to podcasts during these sort of activities: commuting, working, exercising, etc where you can multi task as opposed to "I'm bored and it's a Saturday afternoon guess I'll throw on a 2 hour podcast and sit there and listen".

The ones I listen to're roundtable discussions based on topics I'm innerested in. They don't "replace" music or anything, they're just something else ta listen to durin' commutes or slow shifts at work
