Me, encountering literally any podcast recommendation:

"This sounds really interesting. I'd sure like to read a transcript of it instead of listening to it."

@peterb I want a podcast playback app with 1.3x speed, silence elimination. And... removal of all the "ums and aws", irrelevant personal tangents, stupid jokes, and podcast bros laughing at each other's jokes.
The average gaming podcast would go from 80 minutes to 15.

This is why I still listen to "old steam radio", even though I have a fairly modern car which has Bluetooth streaming, playback from USB/SD-card - the defined timeslots and schedules mean broadcasters have to be more disciplined and fit their content within the timeslot they are allocated (I'm lucky that there are 2 excellent community radio stations and one small commercial station in my region with a good mix of music and speech based shows..)

Having a terrestrial #CommunityRadio station has kept our @accordionnoir podcast on schedule for 16 years 🪗 ⏰

... and why some of the best podcasts I listen to come from those stations. RadioNZ and our community access radio stations, for example, produce some great podcasts, as do NPR. Probably for the reasons discussed in this thread. The good podcasts that aren't produced by radio stations still sound like they could be radio shows. Beginner podcasters could learn a lot from those patterns.
