I don’t listen to podcasts often. I’m the type who needs to read something. Even when I’m watching an English speaking TV show or movie, I have the captions on. When reading, I can skim. With podcasts as well as other audio books, you can’t. For those who listen to podcasts, how do you make the time for lengthy ones? Do you listen while on your commute to work perhaps?

I listen to podcasts all the time. Primarily sports podcasts, like the Bill Simmons Podcast, for example. I also listen to podcasts like The Daily, Planet Money, etc. I typically listen while I'm driving, but podcasts are great whenever.

Similar to books on tape. What exactly is in a Podcast? Depends. There are a wide variety out there. I've listened to a few on health. But they have to be short otherwise I lose my concentration not being able to "see" the words.

Are they just someone discussing a particular subject?

People discussing a particular subject. One site said it was similar to Talk Radio. But you can listen to it any time, some require a fee. Those I've listened to were free.

I'll listen to one here or there if the subject is very interesting. However, it's not often I spend time on them as they tend to be longer than they should.
