Podcast listening
Do you like podcasts? I love them and it's usually the last thing I do before falling asleep. For the past almost 3 years I've been using Pocket Casts which is available on Android and iOs.
It's given me a breakdown of how long I've been listening to podcasts using its app. I quite like geeky information:
That seems like a lot of continuous usage since April 8th 2015 - 74 days and 18 hours, far more than I've watched video, perhaps around the same or a little less usage as reading books, but far less than my music listening (wish I had stats for that). It's hard to imagine doing anything that continuous and obviously it's an hour here, 3 or 4 there, perhaps 20 minutes some days and a few days with no listening but interesting nonetheless.
Thats 1794 straight hours in 1051 days or around 1 hour 45 minutes a day. Obviously I doze to some podcasts, listen to others in full but that's a fair chunk of time. I don't watch TV but guestimate that an hour 45 per day is average for a fair amount of people - it's also the equivalent of perhaps 1 full feature film - the skipping (when I remember it) is to skip shout outs and the odd advert or 2.
I don't listen to regular radio these days - perhaps 15 minutes of news when I'm round at a friends house but I do love my podcasts with all their specialist information.
