there is virtually no useful information in podcasts. maybe 0.02% of podcasts are informative or insightful. Wendell for example.
Read books. Find the books to read from either original sources or bibliographies of books written by non-retards. but, don't read too many books. read the right books. read the words of the people who did the things. don't read the books of the philosophers, naval-gazers, and intellectualists that re-interpret what happened in terms of their own anti-reality ideology.

This. I don’t understand how people like to spend hours listening to people talk to other people about bullshit that brings nothing to life, isn’t useful. That’s why I think these things is just another form of distraction.

I think the core audience of most podcasts are simply people that do not have friends in real life. The bullshitting for hours (some of it useful, some of it not) is something I have done with my friends throughout my life, though much less so than when I was younger (which is also a natural progression). It's one of those core experiences that has been around pretty much as long as human beings have, that is now becoming frighteningly rare.
Just like the sorry fucks that seek out media creations like Juden Peterstein or the Tate brothers for a surrogate father figure, the podcast craze is a result of people seeking surrogate friendships. Both are a paltry substitute for what they replace and both result in ever worsening parasocial behavior & personality defects.
Agreed. There are a handful of /ourguys/ that do good longform documentary type work, like Asha Logos (though he hasn't put out anything in a long time), Zoomer Historian, Wyatt Stagg, Leather Apron Club, a couple others. But those aren't podcasts/podcasters in every instance it's one intelligent White man sharing his insights & knowledge. If something isn't worth the time I simply don't bother with it.
I've never understood the podcast craze. Especially the dipshits that watch everyone in any particular orbit (IE Rogan and the zog fags he associates with) which equals dozens of hours a week of completely vapid non-information. Alot of the fans of that crap will insult their boomer parents who watch network tv all day.... but they are doing the exact same fucking thing. Time sinks of no value that require nothing of the viewer, not even their being awake when it is on.
Books require something of the reader, which has always been the main difference between reading & media on a screen. Not just the ability to read, but imagination and active memory. And yes as you said, in my estimation being well read means reading the right books (that will expand the depth & breadth of your knowledge, awareness, and abstract thinking) not just reading "a lot" of books. Plenty of shit out there in paperback & hardcover that isn't fit to line a birdcage.
