I don't listen to podcasts, because I can read faster than these people can talk. In my experience, most podcasters do it because they can't write well enough to make it as bloggers, and as podcasters they share an affliction endemic to vloggers on YouTube: they talk too much, say too little, and rarely provide transcripts.

But if you enjoy listening to podcasts, more power to you.

I almost completely agree with you, this much talk also annoys me terribly. I think this situation applies to the majority of podcasts, but there are some legit ones.

Anyway, I mostly don't listen to podcasts, basically because I find really boring to concentrate on someone (or some people) talking while doing nothing, I'd rather read, reading is much more agreeing with me. I know, most people listen to podcasts while doing something else entirely, like repetitive chores, but then I don't get it as well, I don't need to cram information on my brain every waking hour of the day, and I much prefer listening to music if I want to listen to something while doing other stuff. By the way, music is the one thing that I listen endlessly without doing anything else at all, it is just sublime.
