I am not sure how much I have learned from podcasts, however they have offered a great deal of onboarding information about various technologies I have later picked up. That’s been valuable to me because basic familiarity with something is a major step toward using it. Good hosts and guests have a casual style you don’t have to work to parse. I also remember some portions of podcasts that end up not only relevant, but containing valuable context only available in that episode. One example recently was the creator of Flask reflecting on what the community was now doing that he would not have done. I transcribed some of this into the thread and I’m sure it would not have been something he would have put in a blog post. It wasn’t bad, but it was earnest and offered an emotional touch only the person affected by the experience could offer.
