 I like the idea of podcasts, but simply don't have the attention span to listen them.

Half an hour is what I can do, taking doggy for a walk and listen. And at the same time I realise it's too short of a time to dig deeper on most topics.

Yes, surely could stop in the middle and return, but  there is just so many things, I never do. 

Wish you a good weekend, well deserved rest and time to play 👻🧡💜🫂💯

 Do you read articles on topics that you don’t listen to podcast about?

 Sure! I like longform on nostr to bring things to my attention I haven't even thought about. Somehow reading is more tangible way too, 'cause when I listen words just flow in to the thin air and I cannot return to check the wording of some sentence to make sure I understood what was said 😅

And thanks Agi for commenting! 🌻

 Interesting, for me it’s opposite.. I can’t get through more than three paragraphs on screen(have no problem with physical books) but I listen to hours of podcasts daily:D
