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.
@jwz @dangillmor A *bad* podcast is an audiobook of a blog post. The podcasts I listen to are conversations. Real, not scripted. You know, what podcasts were in the beginning.
Someone doing a podcast because they feel forced to, or to “cash in” probably shouldn’t do podcasts. But if someone wants to listen to those podcasts, why not. Just don’t criticise podcasts in general because of them.
