i've only started listening to podcasts in the last 3 or 4 months, but what you said really resonates. i subscribe to about 40 podcasts now, and it lets me soundtrack all of the mundane and tedious things in my life (the hour+ of walking i do every day, the hour+ of jogging i do every other day, the hour+ of cooking i do every day, etc) is soundtracked by either neat minidocumentaries or conversations between people i think are funny and interesting. between podcasts and my chromecast i've completely severed myself from traditional broadcast media and i feel much richer for it. a few recommended podcasts for others who may want some: -the podcasts of npr's better shows: this american life, radiolab, the moth, snap judgment, the organist -- by extension, serial, which isnt an npr show but is TAL affiliated -the radiotopia.fm suite: 99% invisible is the best known, but all of them are top notch imo -the duckfeed.tv suite: best known for watch out for fireballs, weekly discussions of a different retro video game; all of their shows are videogame oriented, and frankly while i barely play video games at all anymore i enjoy listening to their discussions -no such thing as a fish: weekly half hour of a group of people quickly rattling off interesting facts -i don't even own a television: reviews of bad books in discussion format -the flop house: reviews of bad movies in discussion format -roderick on the line: conversational comedy podcast -uhh yeah dude: long-running general comedy podcast
