    I guess podcasts do.

    I cannot think of a single good podcast. I say that, then someone recommends six. I listen to a few, each just as insufferable as the next. Same shit each and every one. Some twatwaffle just blathering about nonsense.

    I don’t know a single intelligent person who listens to them.

    If you get blasted with boner pill ads during a podcast, you deserve it.

    I wish Spotify would make the default view music and not books and podcasts.

      The only podcast I actually got into was the Always Sunny podcast, which kinda ended abruptly when their schedules got too hectic. I tried Dropping Names with Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiner but after a few episodes it got kinda dull with their mostly posting demeanor and them trying to just shoehorn as many names into stories as possible.

        Podcasts are just people bullshitting. It’s a replacement for friends or something. I don’t get it. There’s basically no content.

            I’ve been listening to the various microbe.tv podcasts for probably 15 years at this point, This Week in Virology and This Week in Parasitism being my favorites (RIP Dickson Despommier). Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe even longer. Some people seem to only be aware of hollywood celebrity podcasts.

          What I liked about Always Sunny podcast was it was the guys watching the episodes for the first time and would usually share a lot of great behind the scenes content while also BSing. If you’ve watched the whole series multiple times it’s really entertaining.
