In keeping with Craig and my rather pathetic routine of both making a monthly post on the same day I thought I’d put this out there:

Is it just me or does anyone else find it really hard to find time to listen to the podcasts you want? Trouble is there are so many good ones but only so many hours in the day that you can iPod without going overboard.

In the time it takes to listen to an average podcast, say 30-40 minutes I could probably fly through a good few hundred feed posts –  probably only really reading 30% of them and skipping through the crap ones. With a good RSS reader, feeds are an incredibly time efficient way of taking on info whether it be on affiliate marketing, cricket or AlienLovesPredator.

If you listened to podcasts for 10 hours a day (which would be really sad) you would only get through 20 average length shows. And considering at least 50% of it is crap that’s 5 hours a day of wasted listening. I’d rather fill that up with The Bravery.

Other than show notes which are a mission when you’re “on-the-go”, it would be great if there was a way of “reaching into” the MP3 file and accessing only certain content (as one would do with a DVD). There must be something like this around or in someone’s pipeline, it can’t be that hard. Any ideas?
