Do you listen to Podcasts?

I personally haven't listened to podcasts since... RSS feeds and early iPods were mainly a thing.

We used to syndicate The Ben Heck Show and element14 presents on iTunes, though not that many people subscribe to it (like 20?)

What ones, if any do you subscribe or listen to? Are they even a thing anymore?

I think over the years I have only ever subscribed to one podcast and well haven't listened to it in years. compared to my other one I do, I just have them bookmarked on my computer and check them out every so often.

I listen to some regularly, mostly in the car. With working from home I am very much behind on episodes.

I listen to podcasts almost daily, it's part of my self treatment for tinnitus. I need something to cover the constant ringing. That said, my podcast list is as varied and off kilter as I am, with selections across my interests.

Here's a few;

Hackaday Podcast
99% Invisible
Command_Line Heroes
WildWildTech
Draftsmen
Savvy Painter Podcast
The Studio
Suggested Donation
Stuff You Missed in History Class

And various true crime/mystery things. Don't judge.

I subscribe to the Element14 Podcast, but I watch the videos on youtube.

I have to confess I started to binge-listen to Chris Ramsey (UK, Geordie comedian) & his wife, Rosie Ramsey (the sometimes funnier one) called "Sh**ged, Married, Annoyed" on Spotify (their censoring).
Also I used to listen to 'David Mitchell's Soapbox' on iTunes - he loves a good rant!

I have to have the time to be able to ignore people for protracted periods to get back into them though . . . .

No.

I have so much to do, breaking up my time to tune into a specific podcast is just too much bother.

Great question. I want to. But I rarely remember. When I do remember, I'll listen to 2, 2.5 sessions and then drift off. element14 Presents is the only thing I'm regular on and that's with the help of years of reminders every Friday.

I listen to the podcast during traveling (public transportation or a car).
The Amp Hour, Embedded FM, The Unnamed Reverse Engineering Podcast... (Previously I listened to Macrofab Engineering Podcast, The Spark Gap, ...)

I was also subscribed to the podcast sponsored by Element14 (The Business of Engineering), but there has not been a new episode for more than a year.
