Do you listen to podcasts...

[luvnwdwgal]

There’s a couple Disney podcasts that I listen to occasionally.

 

[dvcgirl67]

Yes, all the time. I'm out and about taking care of dogs and cats most days and listen while I'm working, usually in between houses. But I can listen to a lot during the day. Audiobooks as well. The podcasts run the gamut from news podcasts from the NYT, WSJ, WP and WNYC's Brian Lehrer Show. Political podcasts like Pod Save America, Hacks on Tap, Political Gabfest and NPR Politics. Some pop culture ones like Juicy Scoop and ***** Sesh. Some comedy podcasts like Do You Need a Ride, My Favorite Murder. Marc Maron's podcast *** is great and one of the oldest in this space...he interviews some really fascinating people. Same with This American Life which is amazing. I liked the Murdaugh Murder Podcast that is now True Sunlight. Criminal and Case File are also good. In the financial space...I like Afford Anything, Choose FI, and Clark Howard

A couple of good ones lately The Retrievals about what happened to women at a Harvard fertility Clinic...it's a limited series. And Scamanda about a woman who may not be who she seems....another limited series. Both good listens.

 

[PezRuth]

Yes favorites are: Wait, Wait don't tell me; Smartless; Ask me Another; Armchair Expert; conan needs a friend; and sometimes old episodes of Car Talk.

 

[tinkerbellandpeterpan]

Yes, pretty much all day at work (I don't have the kind of job where that's a distraction) and on long car trips. I'm not big on listening to music so I prefer the podcasts. I like that I can binge a series I enjoy during the work week.

 

[AuntieMe3]

Yes, I listen to a lot. I fairly recently got into listening and I love it. Even when Im home ready to relax, I put on a podcast while i play a game on my phone or tablet, I barely watch TV anymore.

I've listened to a lot of true crime ones, lots of pop culture ones... Armchair Expert(almost all of ones associated with), Smartless, Fly on The Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade(mostly SNL related), Rob Lowe's Literally and I just started a new one called Family Trips with Seth Meyers and his brother. Love when any of them make me, literally, laugh out loud.

 

[AuntieMe3]

Scamanda about a woman who may not be who she seems

This one was wild....crazy....I loved it.

 

[luv2cheer92]

Yep, frequently. Usually while driving. My work commute can vary from 15 minutes to 1.5 hours each way depending on where I'm working.

A bunch of different ones. True crime, ones that talk about different fun facts, or how stuff works, some travel/hiking ones. Currently been binging on Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet. Highly recommend lol.

This one was wild....crazy....I loved it.

Crazy right?

 

[PollyannaMom]

Occasionally. I think the last ones I listened to were The Backside of Water (Disney) and Mayim Bialik's Breakdown (interviews and misc.) I've listened the car, on the treadmill, or while cleaning my house.

 

[Dan Murphy]

None

 

[Micca]

I listen to podcasts daily. Mostly comedy, Conan O' Brien is a favorite. Also listen to music based podcasts. Most of the Disney pods I've heard just aren't very good, poor production value, low quality audio.

 

[DisneyHardin]

I have about a 30 minute commute to work, so I listen to some pretty regularly.

 

[slo]

No - I never listen to any

I work 3 miles away from my home, so no time. When I’m in my car for a longer period of time I either have my DH, DD19 or both with me.

 

[prairie_girl]

Yes favorites are: Wait, Wait don't tell me; Smartless; Ask me Another; Armchair Expert; conan needs a friend; and sometimes old episodes of Car Talk.

Smartless is the one I’ve been binging! It’s so, so funny but also really engaging. They’ve had some amazing conversations. Conan needs a friend is great as well.

 

[Lumpy1106]

Yes - they have changed my commute for the better. I never miss "We got the Chocolates" - think NSFW Dad jokes and a group of friends just generally ripping on each other - all in good fun. It's out of Australia and they do spend an inordinate amount of time talking about cricket which I know absolutely nothing about;

Some Disney ones;

Trivia is always good;

And the one podcast that should be REQUIRED for anyone in college or sending their kids to college - Your Own Backyard. It's a podcast about a college freshman in a VERY SAFE college town that went missing after a party. Everyone immediately suspects the guy who "walked her home", and, spoiler alert, they are right, but the local police bungle the case. It takes THIS PODCASTER looking into it to finally provide enough evidence to bust the guy. It just concluded with the guy's conviction, 27 years after the crime. SO, SO well done, and Chris Lambert is nothing short of a hero for doing this. I cannot recommend this podcast enough. Listen, learn, and share with everyone you know - it's so important;

The Disney Dish, Go Fact Yourself, Says You!

 

[Starport Seven-Five]

I probably listen to 2-4 hours of podcasts per day. In the car, riding my bike, mowing the grass, etc. There are so many options out there that there is basically something for everyone. The podcasts I listen to are a combination of financial, automotive, political, and general design.

I saw a few comments above about Disney podcasts lacking. Here are a couple that focus on Disney history that I enjoy:
RetroWDW Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/retro-disney-world-podcast/id935548315
Progress City Radio Hour: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-progress-city-radio-hour/id357374525

Mostly True Crime - and primarily on our 7 hour drive to Disney and back.

 

[VandVsmama]

Guess a bit of a spinoff lol...

I've rarely listened to any. I did listen to couple about Josh Duggar that a childhood friend did as I was curious what he had to say but it was couple episodes and I think I was scrapbooking or something while I listened to it.

I just never think of listening to podcasts. I guess I could do so in my car or walking the dog but I have a pretty short commute.

So do you listen to podcasts and when?

I listen to podcasts. Usually in the car or when I'm getting ready for the day in the bathroom. There's a couple of Disney travel-related ones and "applying to college" ones that I regularly listen to.

Within the past few months I’ve really gotten into them. I listen to them at night when I’m winding down before bed.

Same, although I got onto a few a little longer ago. A number of the ones I like are daily, so at this point I spend a lot more time listening on-line than I do watching TV.
