Gary’s Q&A

Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

Dave Bitschy asks, “Do you listen to podcasts? I’ve always wondered if podcasters listen to others. Maybe they are too busy producing their own they have no time. My other favourite is Dan Carlins hardcore history. It’s the complete opposite format to yours.”

I certainly do listen to podcasts. I’ve listened to Hardcore History since it first came out. In fact, when I came up with the idea for the format for this show, I purposely did the opposite of what most other podcasts were doing with long-format shows.

There are a lot of shows which go in-depth on single topics, and I figured there was room for a show which was more frequent, covering a wider variety of topics.

I don’t listen to as many podcasts as I used to because I can’t listen to podcasts while I’m working on a show.

I do listen to podcasts when I’m doing other things.

Most of what I listen to nowadays are either history podcasts or podcasts about podcasting.
