It's very cool to be able to search through and remind myself of something I heard once. Not exactly life changing, but still, nice to be able to quickly drill down and find audio for something when a curiosity strikes me.
Now it's down to 1 or 2 machines depending on what's going on, so it'll take much longer to finish up, but I'm in no rush.

This includes data from 1995 on. The early data is backfill of radio shows that transitioned to podcasts and dumped old episodes in their feed at some point. My reader itself started in 2012, I downloaded around 7000 hours of new podcasts, which works out to 1.7 hours per day. So, around 2 hours per day, since I don't listen every day, and to be fair, I haven't listened to every podcast I've downloaded, some don't interest me. But 1-2 hours of listening a day is the sweet spot for me.
