There are so many good podcasts I can never get into, because they are often multiple hours per episode. Joe Rogan often on the 3 hour mark. How do people find time to listen/watch all the good content out there?
TL;DR is the zeitgeist, and I want to fight it. I want to read long form articles, books and listen to these great podcasts, but the number of hours in my day don't seem to allow it.
Do people set aside time? Am I just inherently bad at managing my time?
- selectodude 10y agoRogan's podcast is absolutely perfect background listening.
- bluedino 10y ago>> Joe Rogan often on the 3 hour mark. That's how long most morning radio shows are.
- chadgeidel 10y agoI listen to podcasts for at least 10 hours per week and I probably manage to listen to 20 hours of podcasts in that time. Most podcasts I listen to can be sped up to about 1.3x speed with no obvious loss in quality. Additionally I use a podcast app [1] that "removes audio gaps" which basically chops out "pauses" and "no sound" areas of the podcast. [1] https://overcast.fm/ https://overcast.fm/
- throwanem 10y agoI also use Overcast, whose "smart speed" feature is very good. As far as finding time goes, I spend about 90 minutes a day commuting by foot and light rail, which combined with a cheap Bluetooth earbud (check Amazon) makes for very reasonable listening time. Perhaps something similar would work with your daily routine.
