Why are you trying to build a habit of consuming media? Some people just don't care for them.
That said, I listen to ATP, Comedy Bang Bang, and Roderick in the Line regularly. Much less than when I used to drive a car. It's entertainment, nothing more.
- iancmceachern 4y agoI'd say not all media is "bad". Much of the podcast suggestions in these comments are wholesome, or at least teach the listener something. That'd on a whole good, better than mindlessly listening to ads or news on the radio?
- brailsafe 4y agoI didn't necessarily intend to characterize media as bad, just not something to build a habit of listening to. As in, to me it would be weird to want to watch more tv arbitrarily. Seems like a good thing people would have done with audiobooks to try and be more productive, but did they really learn anything?
- iancmceachern 4y agoIt's not always about learning. One can get value from something without learning from something. An example, I've tried to make a habit of listening to All Songs Considered from NPR. I'm not always in the best mood when I start, but "forcing" myself to listen on my regular schedule is good for me, my mental health, my day to day well being, and expands my musical universe. Maybe I don't really learn much, it doesn't apply to my work, but it's good for me. Making a habit of doing things that are good for you is good.
