Podcasts

My general impression of podcasts is that they are long, boring, and somewhat pointless. I found it difficult to listen to one all the way through. Podcasts are very much like talk radio and I pretty much hate talk radio, so it makes sense that podcasts aren't my cup of tea. I was also under the impression that most podcasts played some type of music. My general experience indicates that most have little to no music at all (unless you count 'background' music for their talking, which I don't). Even trying to find a podcast that plays songs is difficult. Most of the podcasts in the music section of itunes are people talking about music and the ones that actually play music, just play 'clips' for a few seconds. For most of the podcasts I listened to, the content would better formatted visually rather than with audio.
