Personally, I don't like podcasts or tapes and much prefer to read about my political interests on my computer. If I'm on a long road trip, then yes, it's good to listen to a lengthy podcast or someone reading a book that interests me; it helps the time go by. But otherwise, I would always appreciate the type of summary you provide in this piece on Substack to just sitting in a chair or couch listening to a recorded conversation. Perhaps most podcast-oriented people would probably disagree, but each to his/her own.

I like my news in text. I dislike YouTube videos. However, at night when I go to bed, I love listening to podcasts. I put the blue tooth speaker under my pillow and create a playlist on Apple podcast. I fall asleep listing to podcasts most nights.

For my straight up news I prefer text, but for news anaysis I do like podcasts. Mainly I listen to lawyers podcasts.

Lawyers' podcasts? That would put me out in about a minute.
