Exasperated Calculator

To get an idea of how much time I take listening to podcasts each month, I kept track of all my podcasts for the month of April.

(Yes, I’ve been sitting on this post for a while).

In order of time:

• Lyrics undercover: 28 mins, 4 episodes.

• A Life Well Wasted: 53 mins, 1 episode.

• Canberra Calling (Crikey): 54 mins, 3 episodes.

• The Biography Show: 1 hour, 1 episode

• Penny Arcade: 1 hour 16 mins, 2 episodes.

• D&D Podcast: 1 hour 22 mins, 2 episodes.

• Out of the Game: 1 hour 32 mins, 1 episode.

• Retronauts: 1 hour 51 mins, 1 episode.

• The Gruen Transfer: 2 hours 19 mins, 5 episodes.

• Good Grief (1up): 2 hours 47 mins, 3 episodes.

• Escape Pod: 3 hours, 9 episodes.

• Car Talk: 3 hours 34 mins, 4 episodes.

• gdgt weekly: 4 hours 8 mins, 5 episodes.

• Joystiq: 7 hours 18 mins, 4 episodes.

• Listen Up (1up): 9 hours 16 mins, 4 episodes.

• Rebel FM/Game Club: 9 hours 41 mins, 6 episodes.

Total time of podcasts: 63 hours 9 mins.

Two special cases, which I normally only listen to about 5 minutes of each (for the headlines):

• WSJ Wekend Edition: 2 hours 56 mins, 4 episodes.

• Morning Read from the WSJ: 16 hours 47 mins, 22 episodes.

And finally, even after that there was a little time left over for listening to audiobooks, which I listened to about 2 hours 45 mins of in the month.

Yeah, i listen to a lot of podcasts. Between the gym and commuting I get about 2 hours a day of time which I have my iPhone playing something.
