I have never listened to a podcast. [] Are they any good? [] Are they a passing fad? [] What is your quest? [] What is the unladen flying speed of an African swallow?

What's a "podcast"? Who's pod; and what are they casting?

I believe it is when a family unit (known as a pod) in the northern hemisphere gathers bait and casts it upon rough seas. At times the seafaring Gullible Fish will strike the bait and the members of the pod will jump excitedly and dance. :laugh: But I'm not sure. That's why I was asking here.

The only podcasts I really get into are retro gaming and/or retro hardware related. TheRetroHour[^], on Spotify, is one of my favorites.

A lot of his podcasts are more mainstream than developers might like, but there's a few that are still technical enough; [Security Now](https://twit.tv/shows/security-now) perhaps being the most hardcore of them. [Windows Weekly](https://twit.tv/shows/windows-weekly) focuses on Windows news, and I mostly listen to it for entertainment; I just like the banter. [This Week in Tech](https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-tech) is more about tech news in general, and I could take it or leave it. Other shows they produce focus on Apple and Android, and those are just too fanboy-ish for my tastes.

I never listen to any sort of tech podcast. My brain is already full of useless tech stuff. It will go into overload and explode if I try to absorb any more! :wtf: I used to listen to lots of, (non-tech), podcasts when I was commuting into the office, but have seriously lapsed since WFH. Now, whilst working, I just listen to music. I can't concentrate if people are talking at me - resulting in sh!t code and losing the thread of the podcast!!! :confused: :wtf: :(

I've listened to over 100 (unabridged) books on tape, CD, ram player over the years as I commuted to and from work. I always tried to stick with non-fiction so I'd learn something but also listened to quite a few fiction. At one point all of my listening was related to how the brain works and I really learned a lot. And I agree I don't even like listening to music with lyrics when I'm programming. I listen to smooth jazz (only instrutmental) almost constantly.

Leo Laporte from TechTV
Around the summer of '97 is when I moved off to the wilderness and got back into computers. (after a 10 year hiatus) Luckily, at least I had satellite TV and one of my favorite channels was ZDTV w/Leo LaPorte. :thumbsup:

:laugh: Given that statement, I actually found one (tech related) and tried to work while listening...doesn't really work for me. At least with a video you are kind of forced to focus/watch...just a couple of guys talking shop couldn't hold my interest. That said, it might work nicely with headphones while the wife is watching HGTV reruns. :thumbsup:
