From self-distraction, a question arises

Instead of focusing on matters more weighty politically or otherwise, such as the recent move by the Democrats to illustrate that if the gloves are off, they are off for BOTH parties, I have been trying to distract myself from matters of a more personal nature.

In the course of my self-distraction, I have been listening to various podcasts from major media outlets, including NPR, Slate, and other sources that are not exactly associated with “citizen journalism” whatever that might mean. For me, these podcasts are convenient because I can listen to them as I drive in to work every day (French radio does not appeal to me, even when I do understand what they are saying).

My attempt at podcasting died even before it could be called stillborn because of both a lack of time and because my voice is not as mellifluous as I would prefer to perform in an audio medium.

After listening to the amateur podcasts available, however, I do feel I could do better than 90% of them. In order to put in the effort, however, I am compelled to ask, would anyone actually listen?

Feel free to respond in the comments.

Hmmm – good question. Guess it would be an issue of how long they are. I tried listening to FrankJ’s IMAO podcast once – but, even with the changing people and subjects – I got tired of it. Those were fairly long though. Now that I’ve moved – I may also have more time for listening. I’ll know that better in a couple of months.
