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.
@src_esther @dangillmor wow, that's a lot to unpack. "I dislike podcasts therefore I don't do housework." I dislike podcasts. I'll let my partner know I can't do housework any more.
Or, maybe, just maybe I prefer to use my ears for something my eyes can never do, which is listening to music. Some people prefer reading their words. That's all.
@lerxst @dangillmor @peachfront
When I listen to music, I don't want to do anything else. Listening to music requires much more attention from me than listening to words.
When listening to a podcast, why shouldn't you be able to hear ambient sounds?
