Last week, instead of going on a full podcast fast, I decided to trim back on a few. I listen to podcasts at a little more than normal speed--around 1.5 speed. I do this to listen to more. But I have soon discovered that while I have a number of favorites, some I had trouble listening to. So I asked myself, "Am I gaining anything to listening to them? What if I took them out of my feed and quit listening to them?"
What a relief!
I had already done this with three other podcasts--all with the same hosts--as they changed the format from MP3 to M4A files. I could still listen to them on my MP3 player, but it was a pain. It didn't have the same quality. So, I decided to ditch them.
My ideal podcast length is between 10-40 minutes long, although I would rather them be short. The ones I got rid of last week were typically over an hour in length. Not only did I get rid of two, a third one also found itself on the chopping block.
I love learning new things and deep diving into topics that interest me. But there are times when I need to start doing, putting things into action by writing new words.
Hence, trimming da fat from the podcast feed.
