Podcasts are generally terrible. They will never get close to text in terms of capability to deliver content, and enabling critical analysis of the content, because unlike text you cannot revisit sections with ease. You cannot ingest information at the same rate as when reading either. While a fun gimmick it feels like a step back in terms of learning / improving rate of ingestion of information. Imagine how useless this site would be if every comment section was just recordings instead of text comments.
