TFA arguments seem ... ill informed. "Not a replacement for music?" Uh, ok. Entertainment is more important than information? sure bro.... I don't care for podcasts either. (1) Most are too infomation-lite and too long. I can read far far far faster than someone can speak. (2) Most adopt sort of a morning-show breezy chat back and forth, which drags the information content down. I listen to one-two podcasts regularly, depending on mood. One is a 10-12 minute religious homily by a scholar; the other is a hour-long run by a criminal justice lawyer commenting on legal issues regarding the police and society. Both are information sources I can't get elsewhere easily. I think of podcasts as talk radio. FWIW, historically there were radio dramas - works of fiction created for radio. I am sure there are similar podcasts which are tons of fun for people.
