I mentioned this in the other thread about Build and Analyze, but I listen to ~ 40 hours of podcasts a week.

I listen to them mostly when I get home from work (maybe 3 or 4 hours a night), and then usually a bunch of marathon sessions on the weekend.

It's easy for me to find myself overwhelmed by the number of ones that I subscribe to (particularly if I manage to miss a couple days straight, and then suddenly have a big pile of unlistened to shows), so I'll periodically go through and unsubscribe from the ones that I don't seem to make time for.

I'd say the ones I listen to are about 50/50 comedy podcasts and tech-related.

It sounds like I'll soon have ~3.5 hours less per week to listen to (as I subscribe to both Build and Analyze and Hypercritical).

Wow! That's pretty epic - thanks for sharing. Given you are as close to a hardcore podcast listener as I currently know, how do you judge which tech podcasts to listen to?

I've found it hard work with the 1-2 hour long ones since the beginnings tend to drag and I can only give them five minutes before getting bored and turning off.
