At least podcasts are still kind of decentralized and we can get good content without being tied to a YouTube account.

Wired headphones and a 3.5mm headphone jack in 2026? I’m already jealous.

Listen, I love my podcasts. I love Pseudopod. I love WTYP. I love Lions Lead by Donkeys. I love Ballin' Out Super. I love Hello From The Magic Tavern. I love my Chapo (❤️ Matt Christman, you da real MVP)

But at no point have I made it to the end of an episode and thought "Wow, this crazy mixed-up thing called life is all going to work out."

This is a loser hobby for dorks and nerds who want a parasocial relationship with the C-lister at the Improv Club. It is a heady mix of adorable geeks and weirdos sharing a slice of their personal passions with you. But it is almost never an optimist-inducing experience.

2006-rabbit is somewhat right. It's a lot easier to do propaganda over a handful of radio and TV stations than when anybody can host their own podcast.

Can you imagine the hellscape the USA would be in if media was just 3 major networks? Trump has already shown how willing he is to use his power to control what's allowed on TV.

I appreciate you sticking to what you threatened lol

Somewhat related: earbuds for human sized rabbits would be huge.

This is why I only listen to audio dramas.

Honestly, anyone still listening to the Nazi propaganda show that is Joe Rogan's podcast, they deserve this experience.

Why not launching your own podcast for fun ?Spreading better ideas. Listening something than makes you unhappy it's not the best thing to do.
