Podcast Junkie
I am a podcast junkie. It has probably been five years that
I have been listening to podcasts. I started with A Prairie Home Companion
and then moved on to Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me. It was so
nice to listen to these shows at my convenience. And after this became a
routine, I expanded my repertoire of shows. I moved on to The Moth, This
American Life and The Writer’s Almanac.
I used to listen to these podcasts in the middle of the day.
But then I discovered that Garrison Keillor’s voice lured me to sleep. So, I
would put his show on and nod off peacefully to sleep at night. Sometimes he
would play all night long and I would be in and out of sleep and hear bits and
pieces of the gossip of Lake Wobegon.
In the morning, I would remember hearing something about Pastor
Liz. I would then go back to the podcast to pick up the missing pieces. This
habit led me to listening to podcast early in the morning. I listen to stories
for about an hour before I finally get out of bed in the morning.
With this new routine, I had to find more podcasts. Now I
listen to 20 a week and so many of them fascinate me that I spend the rest of
the week telling everybody what I learned. No one seems as interested in this
as me. But that does not deter me from running on the mouth about all these fascinating
stories from other people around the world.
