I haven’t posted my favorite podcasts lately. So here are some thought and hopefully some wisdom. I don’t think we understand why, completely. But it is pretty clear that, if we choose the right media, we are more productive and struggle less at boring tasks when we have something interesting to listen to while we work. Here are a couple of things that have worked for me lately and some recommendations.
Did you know that you can set your Audible app to playback at faster than normal speed? It’s amazing. Though I appreciate the performances of the voice actors, sometime my jacked-up ADHD brain needs to consume my audio at between 1.1x and 1.5x speed. Game changer.
Lately, I’ve been listening to audiobooks of things I read in my twenties. I know I liked them, but I don’t remember the details. It’s like getting a recommendation from the world’s most perfect algorithm. I just finished Ender’s Shadow with my 15 year old. (One of the sequels to Ender’s Game, the best book ever.) Great way to kill time, not be bored, and bond with him on the way to the orthodontist, or wherever.
Here are some podcasts that I have listened to and enjoyed since the last time I posted recommendations.
Your stupid opinions. Comedy. A little raunchy. Not for kids.
Fraudsters. Comedy, current events, history. Semi-adult.
Time suck. Funny, raunchy, very educational.
Chris Simms, unbuttoned. If you are a football fan, it’s very in depth without being boring. Swearing.
My Dad wrote a porno. Adult. Hysterical. A few years old. I think I will relisten to it.
Happy listening, getting stuff done while listening, and listening at crazy fast speeds!
