Podcasts are a blight on humanity

They're just radio shows you don't need a broadcast station to distribute.

Some are definitely better than others

I don’t relish listening to people talk ad nauseum about inane shit.

Shrug

Nobody is forcing you to

    Not only that, podcasts range a lot of different formats. Some are people talking to each other. Some are one person talking about a specific topic. Some are stories like books or movies but are radio dramas etc. I understand maybe not wanting to listen to anything you've found, but it's a bit like saying you don't want to read because it's always about the news. Lots of stuff to listen to/read.

    That's all true. But I'm still firmly of the belief that the correct form of Podcast is some combination of British trans woman, Brooklyn journalism washout, and Philadelphia engineer talking about classic movies, election news, and engineering disasters.

    Look at this fat cat capitalist who can afford a home that doesn’t have Podcast Gnomes in the walls.

    Right? I woke up the other night and the gnomes were playing Rogan and The Daily into my ears at the same time. The exterminator says it’ll be $10k to get rid of them permanently, and I just don’t have that.
