Hey,<p>I&#x27;m curious do you like listening to podcasts? How do you discover the ones that you like?

During commutes and chores. Mostly really geeky tech podcast. Computer Security, embedded systems, networking. Twit.tv, packetpushers.net, theamphour.com embedded.fm, unnamedre.com. www.cbc.ca&#x2F;radio&#x2F;spark. Grazed through dozen more worldsgreatestcon.fireside.fm www.redhat.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;command-line-heroes(a season or 2 behind). Audio books don&#x27;t really do it form me. All of the podcast I listen to have RSS feeds. Don&#x27;t use podcast services

Yes, but mostly when traveling or commuting. A few times a year at most I&#x27;ll look through &quot;best of the year&quot; lists at various places or responses to &quot;what podcasts do you like?&quot; at places like here or Reddit. If I come across an article highlighting a podcast that sounds interesting, I&#x27;ll add it to my subscription list.<p>I get behind on them and then feel swamped.

Podcasts get recommended internally through the podcast mafia :-)<p>My favs are Joe Rogan (used to have very high quality guests, seems to have dipped a bit since he hit the news), Lex Friedman (excellent tech&#x2F;science&#x2F;CS guests), Jocko (inspiring), Broken Record ( Rick Rubin and friends ), Darknet Diaries ( securities )

Sometimes, when I can&#x27;t find any good audio books. I&#x27;m pretty ossified in my tastes and only listen to the same hand full for a decade now. And even then only about 1&#x2F;2 of their episodes are to my liking.

Yes. Mostly through word of mouth and occasionally by search for topics

Yes, during commute. I mostly find them through mentions in other podcasts or articles- most of the podcasts I listen to are around the same subject.

No, because I prefer reading instead of listening for most content.<p>Listening just feels too passive for me.

Mostly, I start them up in Youtube, then listen to them.<p>I&#x27;ve also been listening to a lot of talks at NDC and GOTO

I do listen to podcasts, mainly palaeontology, like Palaeocast.<p>I used to find them as word-of-mouth on Twitter, but then I deleted my Twitter account because Twitter is already overrun with bots and weird political posts. I also realized that even if Elon Musk, the Richest and therefore the Smartest man in the world, took over, I was still Twitter&#x27;s product. I wasn&#x27;t getting paid to be on Twitter, so Goodbye!
