Something about most podcasts make them really hard to listen to, for me. Not sure why. Among all media I find them uniquely difficult to follow. My attention wanders and I end up missing most of it. Radio-news-style programs are fine, for some reason. All I can figure is it's got something to do with the pace, and the way the hosts speak. I can even tune into weird religious talk programs on the radio, and mostly be OK, but podcasts as a medium just rarely work for me. Which bums me out, because I'm assured there are tons of good ones, but I just can't handle them. Similar formats with video are fine (on e.g. Youtube).
