I highly recommend the Well there's your problem episode about this.

    I tried. I really wanted to. My son send me links for behind the bastards and I really want to listen to those too. I cannot stand the ridiculous commentary laughing BS that goes on in the background. What the hell is that with podcasts? Is there a documentary style podcast that really just gives you information without the host's 'i think I'm funny' bullshit?

    I can't do it either, it's not just you. I get why some people like it, but I can't do the hours-long unstructured conversation podcast format. I love when they're telling a coherent, well-edited story, but those podcasts are expensive to make. I think getting a group of people together to talk about something is cheaper to make and audiences like it.
