the conversational podcasts are nice because if you close your eyes it's like having friends

i can't think of an informational podcast i've ever liked - if i wanna learn i would read a book instead of having someone stumble over one for me

I worry this is painfully close to the truth. It's probably shocking to say, but I've never had trouble making friends... so podcasts probably trigger the same reaction in me that eavesdropping on a conversation I haven't been invited to does.
