I am a voracious podcast consumer, probably listening to an average of 5 hours per day. Over the last 2-3 months, however, I've noticed my interest in podcasts rapidly decreasing.
Now that the election is over and Trump is fading I guess I've lost interest in the political stuff. Also, I think I'm realizing how useless it is to my life to just hear about politics.
As for people being outraged for or against the woke stuff, it is just the same talking points being rehashed over and over, so I'm tuning that out as well.
I've also noticed that when someone has something interesting to say, such as Richard Reeves recently, then that person appears on all the podcasts in my feed, so it becomes a bit repetitive for me.
Even podcasts related to the carnivore diet, which I follow closely, have basically beaten the subject to death over the last 2-3 years. I know the diet works and I've been convinced from every angle and there just isn't much more to say beyond that.
The only podcast that I really look forward to anymore is The Rest is History with Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook. They have a great rapport and the historical episodes they recount are fascinating. It is the only podcast I would recommend to almost anyone.
