Podcasting

I don’t really ‘get’ podcasting. It’s a nice idea I guess but any podcasts I’ve listened to are… well… really really boring. They kinda remind me of playing with a tape recorder when I was wee, but beyond a vague nostalgic value I’m not really sure what all the fuss is about. Perhaps this podcasting nonsense will just blow over.

I did listen to one this morning but that was only because the volume was really low and I forgot it was on, so it worked out ok as some kinda weird, chatter-based ambient music.

So… can anyone recommend any podcasts that will help show me the value in this new fad? A thirty-eight minute mp3 of someone interviewing their parents just can’t compete with radio 1 for use of my ears, you see.

Or maybe I’m missing the point? Maybe I should be searching for podcasts with subjects that interest me.

Whatever… podcast recommendations please. I demand to be entertained.
