I totally missed podcasts when they were first a thing. But I've rediscovered them as part of my love of all things retrocomputing. There's some really fabulous ones out there, more than I can ever possibly listen to, but they keep me reasonably entertained while I'm washing dishes or doing house work or commuting.

It helps that the app I use kind of makes the entire thing pretty painless.

What worries me though is that several of the podcasts I subscribe to, but haven't gotten around to listening to yet are dead and thus the feeds are dead, and some of the feeds only show the most recent n podcasts, so I'm missing out on lots of the earlier shows.

Podcasts and old radio shows now keep me entertained when I can't watch. I think of them basically like on-demand tv. There's more available than I could possibly ever listen to.

For the topic area I'm interested in, it honestly doesn't matter at all if the show is old.
