Is it weird guys That I don't listen to music anymore but only podcasts?

[Rdude92]

For me, I see that whatever benefit I can get from music, I can get it even more from podcasts. Not only good podcasts is filled with emotional support, my knowledge expands from listening to it and I can explore deep into the minds of specialists, and there are tons of channels to choose from it too.
Is it weird that I abstain from music because its sort of time-wasting?

 

[Jerry the mouse]

Yes

 

[Canuck]

What podcasts do you listen to?

 

[Shawn91111]

I really only listen during workouts, and its either classic rock or music I grew up with. I couldn't tell you who are new or good artists these days. In the car it's usually sports talk radio

Why do you care whether or not we think it's weird? Are you going to change your habits based on the Mayberry's take on your situation?

FWIW though, music and podcasts serve different purposes.

It's weird that you randomly capitalized "That" in your title.

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

I pretty much do the same.

 

[Organic Damage]

I don't know whether it matters that it's weird as long as you feel podcasts are more worthwhile to you than music.

To me podcasts stimulate the intellect and music (instrumental) stimulates the senses/emotions. Not really the same thing.

That's a compliment. Kids need music because they're emotionally lost

Sometimes if I want to listen to a fun story I’ll listen to a paranormal podcast.

what's a good paranormal podcast? I love to get spooked

 

[Wise1]

I'm the same way. Podcasts, lectures, debates and even news. Anything but music.

“Good” is hard to say. They’re usually all laughably bad but entertaining nonetheless. But speaking of Spooked, the podcast Snap Judgement (I can’t stand the host, but he does good at letting his guests do all the talking after his initial rambling intros) would do an episode called Spooked each year around Halloween. It was so popular that he did a sub podcast just called spooked for 13 episodes last Halloween. Each episode featured 1-2 paranormal stories told by the people that experienced them. I liked them because they weren’t run of the mill paranormal stories like footsteps in the house or lights in the sky.

You get emotional support from podcasts?

lol that's sounds bad when you put it that way. My writing is shit. I meant , I feel refreshed listening to podcasts like how people feel refreshed listening to music.

 

[jlagman]

I'm gravitating towards that myself. I haven't given a shit about new music in over a decade and I feel there's more potential for personal growth from a podcast.

Ha I just recently talked about myself listening to less music and more talk radio these days because I'm getting older.
