As I listen to Geek Nights I keep hearing Rym or Scott saying thing that make it sound like they believe that people listen to only one show a week, or only a few shows based on their interests.
I appreciate that the shows are themed by day, it gives structure to what would otherwise have degenerated into a free for all mishmash.
For me though, I listen to every show, or I at least listen to the openers for every show and occasionally I skip an anime show. Listening to every show has broadened my horizons on a ton of topics and while the deeply technical shows loose me in the details, even then I learn about systems and how humans interact with them.
So does anyone here listen to only one day’s shows, or a combination, but not all the shows that come out? Is there a type of show you skip? Scott and Rym, what does the download statistics tell you?
Everything gets autodownloaded into Podkicker and goes into a giant playlist. It’s a mess but it works for me. I listen to every episode, but I listen to ~20 hours of podcasts a week in the background while doing other things, since my ADHD loves it.
It just struck me - I’ve been listening consistently, albeit lately in more of a skip-a-few and then catch up on everything kind of way, since 2006. Goddamn.
I generally just hang outside Rym’s apartment window suspended on a wire, using some super-spy level listening device to hear the episode as they record it.
