Podcasting
I’m going to be honest…I don’t listen to podcasts. I’ve tried a few different ones, and it’s just not my thing. Listening to someone talk and not having anything visual to go along with it is boring to me. I don’t think I could have survived back in the day when people only had radios and no televisions. Like any good journalism student, I’ve listened to This American Life on NPR. Some of the shows are interesting, but I find myself easily distracted by other things and then I stop paying attention and give up halfway through. I also listened to some of the Sound of Young America podcasts after Jesse Thorn talked to our class last week. I think I found his stuff more interesting because I had a sense of who he was after talking to him via video chat in class. I think it’s pretty cool that he does everything from his apartment.
