No. I don't listen to podcasts about anything. I think podcasts are for strap-hanging commuters.

Occasional long car journeys Nov 2, 2019

If I have a long drive by myself, I do try to download audio of the documentary type, alternating with shows like the Kitchen Cabinet (keeps me up to date with ingredients!). Any pointers for translation podcasts?

BTW, the weather here in San Diego is still warm and lovely. No signs of autumn as yet. Our area has escaped the wild fires. ▲ Collapse

reading is faster Nov 3, 2019

Written material you can skim through, find out if the author knows something that you don't know, get to those parts you need. You can't do that with oral presentations such as podcasts. It's too time consuming.
