oh man...
I've been listening to the siglercast since earthcore (I think). Sigler writes some awesome stuff and podcasts some good stories... but his shit is never on time :S.
Anyways, if you guys have a 20-40 minute commute... a little sigler on your iPod will take the edge off that. Bigorangemachine highly recommends sigler

I don't think I'd like podcasts. I hate being read to. I hope this isn't the direction literature is going to take.
then you haven't heard a good audio book - tim curry reading Lemony Snickett, neil gaiman reading any of his books. just sheer joy in hearing a well written book read by someone who understands the art of oral storytelling

The entirety of Discworld is read so goddamn well, I'm willing to say it's better than reading it. Seriously, it all depends on the narrator. I have something like 60gb of audiobooks, and for the most part they're great, but the few that are read badly, are read badly. Liike, say, Ethan Hawke reading Slaughterhouse Five. NO THANK YOU.

I don't think it would matter for me. I've never liked listening to anyone read. Or being told stories. Not even when I was a kid. Always preferred reading it myself.

That's because you never listen.
Snarkiness aside I think you are right. I'm not a very good listener and that is probably the root of my problem.
