Burr was half professional sports before the lockdown , especially the NFL, and huge hockey fan. Now he's just riffing bits a lot because I don't think he cares much for baseball. And, I'm not a fan of most these days, especially football, but he has almost had me driving off the road, twice, with his commentary. He has a future in sportscasting, I hope.

Up until recently, I would have 4-5 10+ hour drives per year for work. Yeah, I could fly most of them but with proper planning, there's some riding, skiing or fishing and sleeping in the back of the truck along the way. Now I love podcasts for drives more than an hour. Drives over five sometimes get an audio book too. You get to pick the topic, the podcaster, etc and you don't have to pay for it. Nothing wrong with that. I do switch back and forth to music though on those drives too depending on my mood.
And Rogan is a tool but he does get some really interesting guests on from time to time so I do listen there occasionally.

Right? I love reading, but I have minimal time available to sit down and read compared to the amount of time I have where I can listen to something while doing an otherwise mindless task. Time flies by compared to music while driving. And, yeah, free.
Heh. Carlin is an artist. Calling what he does a "podcast" is almost insulting.

This is probably my hang up. I LOOOOOVE listening to music when I drive and I can easily keep myself totally entertained for hours and hours doing this. I suppose the fact that I am either driving 5 minutes in town or much longer in rural MT makes it different than if I was sitting in stop-and-go traffic on the interstate.

Never been a fan myself. Driving back from the keys a few weeks ago my wife put on Smartless pod cast, after she got sick of my music.. It was pretty funny once I got into it. One of the better/funnier podcasts I’ve listened to. And yes I live an hour from Montreal, so we had some time to really take in some radio

I was listening to a podcast while driving across North Dakota the other day and was amazed to hear an actual maggot from these forums being interviewed.

Maggot = Underoos

Wish TGR had a simple +1 function sometimes. I know that is millennial bullshit. But I can't read while pulling weeds out of the garden.

I listen to lots of audiobooks in the car, but the podcasts I've listened to are just too damn slow to hold my interest. Maybe I'll try a few of the ones mentioned here.

Fuck podcasts.
I listen to a few good industry podcasts (energy transition show, oil and gas this week etc) on maybe more peripheral shizz that I’m needing to stay up to date on for work while running or hiking*
It’s true that reading is superior for retaining the info but it’s handy for sneaking in incremental info.
I’m going to chk out some of the suggestions listed here too
*the well traveled trails where I’m less likely to be eaten by a wild animal. and only in one ear before I hear any guffskid luxury

Hard to find current events in an audiobook.

I'm not really a climber and it's been a very long time since I've considered myself one. That said I still really enjoy at least 50% of the episodes from The Enormocast.

I wanted to love audiobooks, but for the most part I find them too slow, and that listening to something meant to be read isn’t as satisfying as reading it. That’s why radio/podcasts works better as audio - it’s made to be audio from the start.
Some I am enjoying - old and new. Some are super obvious but whatever:
Snap Judgement
How to Save a Planet
Planet Money
The Indicator
Hidden Brain
Radiolab
Timber Wars
Code Switch

My issue with music podcasts is I don’t get to hear the whole song very often. I did really enjoy Chuck D’s Stay Free: The story of the Clash. No Dogs in Space was ok, I made it through. Despite my love of old school country I’ve struggled with Cocaine and Rhinestones.
Broken Record looks interesting. I’ll pop it on now and check it out.

always thinking about writing a column for the paper
this weeks pod cast would be fuck the man
in a huge dust up with the man right now kinda comical when you call people out on the small town bs
I say I'll call my lawyer, customer says no we don't like to be like that, I say it'll be worth the money, lets do it
the architect goes off the rails for twenty mins complaning about the small town bs I'm dying laughing
and then I appreciate people who have millions and millions of dollars in the bank, especially people who were an average dipshit who came up with a stupid idea and got so rich they don't know what to do dropping 5 million on two houses just cause they have money to spend
then my shrink says I should consider cbd
