On a multi-person video call this morning, we were asked what podcasts we listen to.

I didn't get a chance to chime in but here's my answer:

None regularly. I don't have the time, even at fast playback, to listen to something linear that I could scan much more quickly if it was text.

Podcasters, please post transcripts.

@dangillmor A podcast is an audiobook of a blog post, where they then delete the blog post. This meeting could have been an email.

@jwz @dangillmor you people don't walk dogs, wash dishes, commute by bike or any of those things then?

@heresiarch @dangillmor I don't wear headphones when I bike because I don't have a death wish. But you hit on the target audience for podcasts: commuters. If I had to spend 10% of my life driving, I'd probably like them.

@jwz @heresiarch @dangillmor Something like the aftershokz bone induction might work. Though I can't remember it it works well with helmets. I listen while walking, while doing housework etc.
