you should try to listen to podcasts where you think the hosts are interesting. they’re useful for uncovering new threads of information of and modes of thought, which are more usually associated with what you gain from personal conversations. podcasts are probably never the supreme mode of conveying information, but they’re a cool window into peoples’ brains. they’re great for storytelling as well, and in quarantine, they’re acceptable substitutes for social engagement.
- the_af 6y agoI've tried podcasts and the format is just not for me. I do enjoy YouTube channels on particular topics (history, warfare, hobby stuff). My point is that this isn't at all a replacement for Wikipedia. Even the time investment is wildly different between the two.
- romwell 6y agoYup. The title sounds like "The train is my new bicycle". I mean, both get you places and have wheels.
