I do not understand people who have the time to create these, nor people who have the time to listen to these, nor people who believe people should take the time to listen to these, where "these" is informational audio or video content on any single topic exceeding 15 minutes in length. Toss in the people who think they need 2 minutes of intro, or spend 30% or more of their time greeting/acknowledging/whatever people who aren't present/involved when the audience actually consumes the content, and I just don't know why these things ever became so widespread. That's my mileage, anyway.

> I do not understand people who have the time to create these, nor people who have the time to listen to these, nor people who believe people should take the time to listen to these, where "these" is informational audio or video content on any single topic exceeding 15 minutes in length. I like to listen to podcasts while I run. I listen at double speed and my shortest runs last a half hour minimum. I also listen for the entertainment, not necessarily solely because I want the information, so I don't mind listening to the hosts be people (though they can drag on too long, and don't get me started on "podcast network" ads).

  Most of my runner friends mention listening to audiobooks or podcasts while they're out, and I listened to NPR when I had a commute to the office. The downvote storm I received has made me grumpy, though, so I'm just going to pass on.

    I think the downvote storm is due to your first statement here, which to me says you don't understand how people don't have time for podcasts: > I do not understand people who have the time to create these, nor people who have the time to listen to these, nor people who believe people should take the time to listen to these, where "these" is informational audio or video content on any single topic exceeding 15 minutes in length. When your comment now is saying you know people who do listen to them. It's a bit confusing and could use some clarity I think.

> nor people who have the time to listen to these Most people have at least a couple of hours each day where they're stuck doing something that doesn't fully engage their mind (sitting on the train, sitting in traffic, cooking, doing the dishes, cleaning, jogging, working out etc etc). It's less "having the time" and more making time taken up by mundanities more enjoyable.
