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.
