Guys I think I am retiring my brain from the 24hr podcast cycle. TW: death of a parent. Since 2018 when my mom died, I’ve listened to a near constant stream of podcasts, initially to drown out my thoughts. Even when my mental health improved drastically, I found it hard to divorce myself from the habit of having constant background/foreground chatter. I’ve learned so much (mostly useless) information over the last 7 years and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I have zero regret. I’m just ready to move on. I’m thus formally announcing my intention to listen to more music and fewer podcasts on the day-to-day. Comment your favorite artists below (I don’t like sad or slow music).

Wow. I think I’ve been the exact same, without even realising or stopping to think why I listen to so many podcasts. My dad died in 2017 and I’ve just imbued my brain with so many voices other than my own. Thanks for this 💛
