On the most recent Hello Internet CGP Grey voices some interesting concerns about how we spend out attention and he lists podcasts as one of the ways he unintentionally fills all downtime for his brain.
And yes, it is off course a bit ironic to hear this on a podcast but I never the less agree with him. I’m in the middle of listening to their discussion now, so maybe I’ll re-evaluate some of my own media consumption afterwards.

1 september, 2018 20:55@MrHenko I subscribe to a lot … I listen to a few … Castro is great for curation … the ones that have interesting guests and / or topics make it … rambling 2.5 hour ‘casts like @gruber ‘s do not get listened to any more.

5 september, 2018 11:16@JohnPhilpin I tried the same thing a year or so ago and I really liked the organization of Castro. However there was something about the astetics of Castro that just didn’t fit with me. It feel weird to say, but using it felt wrong for a lack of better word. Once I switched back to Overcast I felt at home again, but I do miss the inbox style approach.
