Do you bounce ideas off podcasts?

I find podcasts easier to consume than texts. It allows more room to think about what's been shared.

What do you think? When do you listen to podcasts?

    I don’t know about easier. Podcasts are an investment. You have to make the time. And it’s not so easy to go back over a point to get the understanding or make a note.

    But, I think podcasts are a perfect way to learn when you do have the distraction free time. I’d rather hear people speak and walk through something than read it. It’s more interesting and I retain the info better than reading.

      Would you follow a specific podcast cos their content is always of quality standards?

        I write a newsletter sharing podcast episodes so I listen to many different ones. One of my goals with the newsletter has been to provide variety to help people discover new podcasts. (Shameless plug if you’re interested: https://podboxer.com)

        But, from a personal point of view I do find myself drawn to a handful of what I perceive as high quality (eg Indie Hackers)

          Awesome plug. I'll check it out.

          Great initiative for surfacing good content. Google is not doing it for me these days.

    Hm I think I prefer texts since listening to a podcast seems I have to create space/time for it. I love podcasts though, leave feeling inspired at times unlike texts..so tradeoffs??

      Inspirations...love it! Care to share what are some eps you find inspiring lately or perhaps in the past?

      I love that lightning strike moment.

    I have no time to process my own thinking. I listen at 1.5x or 2x speed.

      so you'll find normal conversations very slow then. :P

      What do you think is the key difference between audio and reading?

        For me i walk and read, i feel like im being productive.

        I also just enjoy audio, reading is a chore.
