Well, it would seem having the perfect music to exercise by wears thin after one week. Instead, I’ve been exercising on the indoor bike while listening to podcasts.
I haven’t heard any podcasts other than Serial, which I loved. I binged Serial over a weekend.
I compiled a list of all the best podcasts. I thought they would all be like Serial, and I was wrong. It seems they generally consist of mildly amusing people being more amused by themselves than merited (which in a surprising moment of clarity I realize describes me).
Anyway, I looked for podcasts similar to Serial, which led me to S-Town, which struck me as being too revealing about the intimate details of one person’s life. (There’s a theme here, isn’t there.)
My next try was to stick with NPR. When I was on Twitter I followed the woman from Pop Culture Happy Hour, and I wondered why my station didn’t carry PCHH, and I suppose they didn’t because it’s a podcast. It’s a podcast that sent me to the game “You Are Jeff Bezos,” and I will always treasure that, but I think I want something short and narrative.
Sounds like it’s old episodes on This American Life for me.
