I listen to lectures on things that have nothing to do with my day job, and I love every minute of it. Listening to something you find interesting while walking is a delightful match.
- noisy_boy 5y agoInteresting indeed. Where can you find lectures that are far removed from, say, software engineering, but still provide solid new information without being either too superficial or too hard to grasp due to level of depth? I don't like to exercise but may be something like this would get me to go for walks.
- Baeocystin 5y agoI listen to the Great Courses catalog via Audible. For example: I'm personally interested in archaeology & anthropology, and just finished this lecture series covering ancient mesoamerica: https://www.audible.com/pd/Maya-to-Aztec-Ancient-Mesoamerica-Revealed-Audiobook/B00TKIYO46 https://www.audible.com/pd/Maya-to-Aztec-Ancient-Mesoamerica... 48 lectures, ~23 hours. Loved it. Didn't spent a single minute the entire time thinking about anything even tangentially related to iptables, regular expressions, or why patch tuesday makes my eyelid twitch.
- noisy_boy 5y agoThank you - this an area of interest for me as well (my mind wanders away trying to imagine the nitty-gritties of the lives of ancient folks). Will check it out.
