 Most podcasts about Bitcoin are really boring, they are like chats with friends, they are superficial and the information they give could be condensed in just 5 minutes. 
 I don't see much critical thinking either, it's like sucking each other's dicks.

 90% of the Bitcoin podcasts and programs are basically the same people who are always in the same incestuous network, trying to get you to spend your BTC on their shit.

 Yes I listen to a very few Bitcoin only podcasts.  I like podcasts that talk about other stuff too. 
 That's why I can never listen to these podcast more than a few minutes, I feel like wasting my time and if I'm listening while doing something else I will be missing the important/interesting stuff.
Sometimes I listen to the BTC Sessions 2-3 minutes extract, that select the important thing but title could be misleading and I end up frustrated half of the time.

Also these Youtuber posting one video per day and have clearly nothing to say 9 time out of 10, please stop wasting my time.

I prefer much more to follow someone that post one good and long article every 2-3 months and wait to have something interested to share and fully develop the topic. 
 Bla bla bla. Words words words. It does seem like and information blandness and monkey see monkey do vibe is going round. With the information overload. It does seem to present us with an overwhelming support for the hypothetical theory people=milk.  And not everybody got that whole milk farm fresh full fat to float to the top. My personal observation is that talk is cheap and therfore will be as fiat. Over inflated! Plus true signal and truth is simple and only takes 5min to convey. So yeah shooting the shit with your friends. And dragging with the solutions instead of putting them on the table. Will always be less risky. When a global bitcoin standard with sound money exists probably the way we communicate will also change for the better.
But still the addiction to fiat and all that it brings. (Mostly laziness) Will take probably 2 generations to heal. 
 
 😅 I thought that too.  
 
I feels like mainstream. 

In searching for others more technical and creative based on bitcoin. Not in FIAT terms and examples. 

Even mining is a lobbying. 

It too me time but solo mining and self-custody are the backbone of sovereignty. And you need to understand that. There’s no shortcut or “cashback”.

For me is about storing and using energy the most efficiently way an individual can do. During his life time. 
 I like the idea of streaming sats/s you listen. It makes you think. 
 I've stopped listening to them. Don't think I've heard anything new in years. Which is fine.  
 I subscribe to a couple. For the past year or so I just find myself clearing out the notifications and not listening to any of the episodes. If something big comes along great, they are there when I need them, but otherwise what's really left to talk about? A lot of them either preach inevitability like a con artist, or try to shill some shit. And then everyone comes to nostr and repeats those same talking points.  
 It could also be my anonymous friend, that you're so balls deep in all of this that the extraordinary seems banal.

Having said that, I agree with you. 
 My qualm with it is usually they talk about how broken everything is today and very little about how it could look tomorrow. More visionary.
