I have long thought Podcasts are a complete waste of time. They also remind me of something I was aware of way back in the 1980s. You know, when dinosaurs roamed the earth. It seems that because radio stations were easy to locate and destroy, Communist insurgents would record speeches and other indoctrination materials on cassette tapes. They would move from village to village, gather the persons to be liberated, and then play the tapes for them. It was a command performance. Soon the young would seek out the tapes to better absorb the lessons. Ideas were being spread under the radar, so to speak. Very effective in Central America and Africa, so I'm told.

I believe that Podcasts are being used the same way. My Leftist friends are always telling me about "truths" they "learned" from Podcasts. Almost universally these truths are easily proved false or are so improbable that they are laughable. I will go through debunking the truths with the Leftists and they will end up agreeing that what they "learned" was patently false. The next time we meet they talk about the "truths" again like we had never had an earlier conversation. At first I would go through it again and they would end up agreeing with me. I finally figured it out. They listened to the Podcast again. They are so eager to believe that excrement. I guess they sleep between our conversations too. I figure my only option is to avoid contact.

I love podcasts. Household chores become a lot more palatable with them! I recommend the following to all comrades:
- delingpole (British cynicism, lovely!)
- conservative university series (daily content, gathered from all over the web, wide range of topics)
- mises institute podcast
- the classicist (with Victor Davis Hanson, Hoover institution)
