Ya know what? I don't think the boomers were right. Their equivilant to podcasts was FM Radio having talk shows at 6am with wacky hosts that use slide whistles, fake laughs, and crazy sound effects every 3 seconds.

They didn't have it right. There's absolutely room for something way better.......but those awful 80s morning shows were still better than these podcasts.

I just miss people talking about something they know in an organized and professional manner.

I just don't care for random string of consciousness to pretend I am part of a conversation I can't actually participate in.

Ugh yes. Podcasts are so low density for information per minute. No offence if that’s what you’re in the mood for and it can certainly fill a long commute / chore. Just really not my cup of tea.

I sort of hate podcasts. I don't want parasocial relationships. I don't want to hear in 30 minutes what I could have read in 3, with better options for following up (highlight -> search vs "what did they say? how do you spell that?")

Seriously.

Annoys me about a lot of youtube videos and documentaries as well.
