Butterfly Effect was the podcast that made me realize I really hate podcasts. I love Jon Ronson, I love his writing, pornhub is actually pretty interesting, and I couldn't make it through an episode and a half.

It's what I hate about podcasts: "if this were a radio broadcast, we'd have to be concise and edit it down for length. But since it's a podcast, we know you want to hear self-important rambling for 45 minutes."

Audiobooks? No problem. Burned through two adjusting the valve lash on my Benelli. Podcasts? I finished one and that's because I was hoping to hear something insightful about Network Attached Storage. I will never listen to another voluntarily.
