I despise this type of podcasts... just idiots (generally) rambling about themselves or shit they know nothing about.

This is why I almost exclusively listen to podcasts that are scripted, like casefile, freakonomics, this American life, radio lab, wait wait don't tell me, etc.

Before this, all too often I would find myself listening to people aimlessly chatting about what they had for breakfast and such, and I realized those that scripted their episodes made for a tremendously better listening experience.

The only unscripted podcasts I listen to are D&D sessions

I tried to listen to a Kubernetes podcast once, where they talk to engineers who created it. They just fucking ramble about sports and unrelated bullshit for about an hour and I never listened to another episode.

It's nice to be in a room with someone who knows their shit, and never actually talk about the shit they know about, and instead connect to them at a human level.

But that's not useful for podcast listeners.

I've dropped so many podcasts where the title was promising an interesting topic, but then inside it's just these dudebros rambling about nothing. I don't understand how some of these podcasts have so much popularity.

It's a stable opportunity because of para social people.

I've literally done this like 6 times with writing. I start writing something and after like 3 sentences I say "who the fuck do I think I am that anyone would give a shit about what I have to write!?" I've never gotten past one paragraph.

I don't know why comments feel different, it's probably because I use social media to just vent my frustrations and express just how much I loath who I am. Sorry for using Lemmy as my therapist! :P

Love yourself, The world's a hard, strange place. Keep your chin up. Don't hate yourself for what you were born into.

When I was in my early 20s, I read this poem And it stuck with me .

Desiderata - Words for Life Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Reporting in that I did, in fact, want to listen to it, and did so. Thank you for sharing your work!

Thanks for taking the time to listen! Generally I don't use Lemmy to promote, but when the chance arrives

Yeah, but what's the name of the podcast?

[-] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Downloading 100 episodes now.

EDIT:

Stop Podcasting Yourself's name is literally a commentary on these exact type of podcasts. SPY is wildly popular and has entire reoccurring segment called, "overheards" where they talk about things they overheard.

If that is trash taste, trash is whats for dinner.

Yep. The difference between investing a couple hours vs. hundreds of hours.
