PODCASTS
What podcasts do you listen to? Do you listen to any podcast at all?
I was introduced to the world of podcasts by my dear friend Tim who passed away a few years ago. So many years had passed and from time to time things would pop up and I would recall it was Tim I did this thing with or how he told me about it...interesting how people affect in ways you don't even know.
I listen to the following podcasts:
And there're others I deleted over the years...but as you can see...it is a damn long list of podcasts to listen to. So I always have heaps of podcast episodes in my podcast player (I'm using Overcast) waiting to be played. I only have time (or wanting to spend time) listening to podcast while I'm driving to work and back home. It's a long drive from 45 minutes to 1 hour, so it fits 1 or 2 episodes.
I used to listen to Music Radio Stations to get the stress off or lift the mood. But I found out music and small talks on the radio stations can be a bit boring even though the hosts trying to make things/topics interesting and while listening to my own music that I like, over time it can became too predictable and boring as well.
It is only through listening to different podcast every time, on various topics - science, talks, life stories that my time in the car commuting isn't as boring as I felt. The more I listen, sometimes some idea would pop up in my head...so even though I have stopped writing blog for a long while I think maybe it's good for me to put my idea down somewhere, perhaps to help me not getting early dementia problem or something like that.
Compare to Twitter/Facebook/Google+/Plurk with small space to write about what you think, blog would be a better place for a more (trying-to-be) structured writing/long rant or explanation about the ideas that popped up.
Who knows, there's a big, vast void out there on the internet but someone might still find his/her way here...
