Ask HN: Do You Listen to Podcasts?
Hey,
I'm curious do you like listening to podcasts? How do you discover the ones that you like?
- mikewarot 4y agoMostly, I start them up in Youtube, then listen to them. I've also been listening to a lot of talks at NDC and GOTO
- bediger4000 4y agoI do listen to podcasts, mainly palaeontology, like Palaeocast. I used to find them as word-of-mouth on Twitter, but then I deleted my Twitter account because Twitter is already overrun with bots and weird political posts. I also realized that even if Elon Musk, the Richest and therefore the Smartest man in the world, took over, I was still Twitter's product. I wasn't getting paid to be on Twitter, so Goodbye!
- softwarebeware 4y agoYes. Mostly through word of mouth and occasionally by search for topics
- theandrewbailey 4y agoI used to.
- annagrigoryan2 4y agowhy you stopped?
- derbOac 4y agoYes, but mostly when traveling or commuting. A few times a year at most I'll look through "best of the year" lists at various places or responses to "what podcasts do you like?" at places like here or Reddit. If I come across an article highlighting a podcast that sounds interesting, I'll add it to my subscription list. I get behind on them and then feel swamped.
- annagrigoryan2 4y agoon what app you listen to your podcasts? is it spotify?
- derbOac 4y agoAntennaPod
- kleer001 4y agoSometimes, when I can't find any good audio books. I'm pretty ossified in my tastes and only listen to the same hand full for a decade now. And even then only about 1/2 of their episodes are to my liking.
- annagrigoryan2 4y agowhere are you looking for audiobooks? I'm constantly torn to get audible
- prosaic-hacker 4y agoDuring commutes and chores. Mostly really geeky tech podcast. Computer Security, embedded systems, networking. Twit.tv, packetpushers.net, theamphour.com embedded.fm, unnamedre.com. www.cbc.ca/radio/spark. Grazed through dozen more worldsgreatestcon.fireside.fm www.redhat.com/en/command-line-heroes(a season or 2 behind). Audio books don't really do it form me. All of the podcast I listen to have RSS feeds. Don't use podcast services
- annagrigoryan2 4y agoRSS is sooo cool! There are so many rss readers launching, but they stop being active eventually because there's not a lot of people that still actively use it. I use RSS for my newsletters, gather all of them in one place with Zapier.
- awsrocks 4y agoOh yeah: Joe Rogan and Andrew Schulz Flagrant 2 when I work out.
- 2rsf 4y agoYes, during commute. I mostly find them through mentions in other podcasts or articles- most of the podcasts I listen to are around the same subject.
- annagrigoryan2 4y agohow many podcasts do you listen on regular bases?
- 2rsf 4y agoI would say 15, they release from weekly to monthly with random breaks in the middle
- Maclennan 4y ago[dead]
- thorin 4y agoPodcasts get recommended internally through the podcast mafia :-) My favs are Joe Rogan (used to have very high quality guests, seems to have dipped a bit since he hit the news), Lex Friedman (excellent tech/science/CS guests), Jocko (inspiring), Broken Record ( Rick Rubin and friends ), Darknet Diaries ( securities )
- anon2020dot00 4y agoNo, because I prefer reading instead of listening for most content. Listening just feels too passive for me.
