Do you listen to #podcasts ?

I feel like about 95% of the time I immediately look for the transcript. And if there isn't one, I probably click away. No inclination to wait and listen to the side comments and the parasocial references to other podcasters or influencers I've never heard of... At least for anything informational.

That goes for most #YouTube videos too. Transcript please!

I get some motion sickness from reading on my phone when I take the buss, and I don't have the requisite amount of technologist zeal to construct the contraption that would let me read and do the dishes at the same time.

Though admittedly I mostly listen to podcasts in the "this could have been a university lecture" style. Banter laden podcasts are for distracting relaxation.

Now, instruction videos on the other hand! Those are almost invariably a genre that portends some sort of quickly approaching apocalypse 🤬
