    Not at all if you listen to good pods. No commercials, no censorship, much more originality. I can't stand AM talk but listen to Pods frequently.

    None thanks. I’ll pollute my mind and distort my opinions through other methods......though the end result is usually
    the same.....

    I totally get this. However, I think both of you would really enjoy Hardcore History. They are extremely well done and in-depth. I love the WWI series and the series on the Mongols best. Dan Carlin (host) spends upwards of six months researching and producing each series. With the WWI pod there are 5 episodes each about 4 hours long.

    All series aren’t equal, but I haven’t found any duds either. They aren’t political but Dan does often try to find parallels between different historical events and often talks about motivations and conflicts in historical records. He was a jouranalist for decades but his hobby was history.

    Anyways, if you have a long drive or a voyage, download a series and give it a try.

    Joe Rogan is okay when he has an interesting guest.

    Agreed, but I’m tired of how most of his guests are comedians and they end up just talking about being a comedian. But when he has a neuroscientist or Egyptologist, or some astrophysicist I love it. I now only listen to maybe 1/20 episodes.

    My wife does a ton of Pod casts, History is her favorite. It doesn't work well for me listening to someone else present at their speed. I read quite fast, until my mind wants to take a moment to contemplate the presentation at hand. Reading, this is no problem, I can go as fast or slow as the subject will take me.
    If the Podcast is not all that interesting, way way too slow. If the Podcast is good it is usually still too slow most of the time, but when I take the scenic route, I get lost as to where to pick up when I stopped hearing the babble. Perhaps we need better tools to listen with, tuned to the user by the user.

    I'm this way as well. My wife suggested podcasts and audiobooks for the drive, but it just doesn't fit my learning style. :dunno:

    If he has funny comedians like Stanhope on it's okay, but a lot of the time they aren't that interesting. I don't have any interest in the MMA stuff/people either.

    I've heard Cumtown is good, but I haven't listened to it.

    There are speed controls on most podcast apps; I listen at 1.5x most of the time.
