Maybe? I only listen to podcasts occasionally, but when I do I generally listen to well-reviewed older episodes instead of the most recent ones. With my favorite podcasts (ex: https://80000hours.org/podcast https://80000hours.org/podcast, https://www.econtalk.org https://www.econtalk.org, https://songexploder.net/ https://songexploder.net/) this generally works well.
- jessaustin 4y agoWe have different podcast habits. I listen a great deal. I'm currently subscribed to over 200. Not all of those are still "live", of course I don't bother listening to every episode of most of them, and I currently intend to unsubscribe from at least ten, but since I drive a fair amount, operate noisy equipment a fair amount, and do random solitary farm tasks a fair amount, I do listen to lots. Also I have playback speed set at 1.8x currently, and I'm steadily increasing that. I don't use an app that features reviews. I'd rather spend five minutes listening to the original than five minutes reading about it. Most podcasts I find through guest appearances or criticisms from current subscriptions. (E.g., I subscribed to the excellent "Red Scare" because the also excellent "Pod Damn America" dudes spent like ten minutes bitching about them.)
