Regarding podcasts designed to keep your attention: I just found out about the complete opposite elsewhere in this thread: https://open.spotify.com/show/6RLX4Ns3kRUQiJi7RZl4NA?si=bEFG...

Episodes seem to resolve into largely incoherent babbling pretty soon. Also, the number of episodes (and their duration) is kind of mind boggling!

haha this podcast is what inspired me on my tts system.

Thought the concept was great, but couldn't stand the host or style. it feels like being trapped in room with crazy person, harder to fall asleep to his mutterings. Also doesn't work well when topics are random, need something that grabs brain interest, but not too much. This is why comment threads are great - they're somewhat sorted by quality. You start off with interesting conversations before quality drop, and it's easy for brain to check out.
