Podcast Thoughts
There are a ton of podcasts out there. They are informative, fun, and cover a lot of good topics. I don’t listen to them.
The reason I don’t listen to them is simply that I have trouble with auditory learning. I don’t retain things I hear nearly as well as I do things I read. I’ve reached the end of many podcasts and asked myself "What were they talking about for the last hour?"
I find myself in a cycle of finding interesting podcasts, listening to them, realizing I don’t have a clue what they’ve been talking about, and unsubscribing. It seems that I can only listen to about an hour or two of podcasts per week. Anything more goes in one ear and out the other.
I wonder if a good speech to text program could help with this? I don’t think the current technology is up to handling podcasts yet, but it doesn’t hurt to look into it. I guess I’ll just have to live with the world not revolving around me. :)
