    I’ll eat them as soon as:

    (a) audio is as efficient as text for information transfer

    (b) amateurs are as informative and entertaining as professional radio people (hey, professionals have podcasts, too)

    Nick if you think that is played out, then you should meet a friend of mine who bases nearly every conversation she has on a movie or song she has seen or heard. I kid you not when I say she will interrupt sentences to tell you about a movie or song because something you said reminded her of it.

    But yeah, it’s played out. My case is just irritating.
