Number Five

Top 5 Things I Love About Podcasts

This is the only “J” thing about me, perhaps, since I’m a “P” on the Myers-Briggs. But I love that they give you a little check mark when you finish a podcast episode all the way through on Apple Podcasts.

They might not do that on other pod platforms, but they do on Apple. On my iPhone, the check mark tells you the date that you finished the episode.

Here’s what it looks like on my iPad, which I use for home listening, when I’m not out and about. (Like bathtub, or other bathroom stuff like brushing my teeth).

I’m not really a list maker/checker, but with academic stuff, I can be that way.

In fact, I made a note card about 2 months ago of these 5 things I love and 5 things I hate about podcasts. I made it late at night one evening while I was working on something else. I got through number 4, then got some traveling in for Thanksgiving. When I got back, I couldn’t find the notecard — it wasn’t where I thought I last saw it.

So, I’m not sure if this was the original number 5 or not, but it’s legitimate, as the kids say.

If I find the note card, I’ll let you know what was originally on it.

To tell you the truth (as opposed to lying to you, which I would normally do right now) (j/k), I can’t recall what the original 5 things I hated were. I may have to come up with a new list. But I’m thinking about other things right now, so that may be a different list, slightly, than the original.
