Oh yeah, it's terrible listening to ripped audiobooks on a music player.
I "ripped" The Pacific years ago, and listened to it on my Zune (lollll). It was in an audiobook folder in my Docs folder that somehow got uploaded to my Google Play library when I started using that. The matching system was really bad back then, so it gave the book chapters song names...and scattered them throughout my entire library. Up until a couple of years ago, I would randomly hear a chapter of The Pacific while shuffling all of my music. I finally deleted the last of it a while ago; Google Play's matching system caught up to the rest.
Plus, I don't like how you can't separate podcasts from music queues. So, if I'm listening to a podcast and want to listen to music, it doesn't always keep your place (especially if you are near the end of a podcast). Very frustrating.

Harry Potter is actually why I looked into Audible. Fiancé has been on me to read the books and I figured I spend an hour and a half commuting every day so I could put a pause on the podcasts for a bit. I looked into the library and there was a 6 week waiting list for each audio book. Then I saw that Carnegie Library has an app where they claim you can stream. But even streaming has waiting lists for some reason. So finally, I pirated it because it's too **** hard to do it legitimately. I take a screenshot after each commute so I don't lose my place. It's very annoying.Our rural-ass library has audiobooks - usable through Audible - that makes much more sense. Only issue is selection, as outside of best sellers and Nicholas Sparks/Dorothea Benton Frank/sappy Hallmark movie type books, there isn't much I like to read. But we did Harry Potter for a long road trip to Orlando a couple of years ago, which was great.

lol, I’m halfway through fridays episode. Haven’t gotten to that part yet@Malkinismyhomeboy
Just listened to Friday's show. I'm both surprised and relieved to hear that Chatter is dead, at least as a podcasting studio. Although I liked the concept, their execution of the idea was poor. Listening to a professional podcast being conducted while hearing plates clatter and crash in background and at least one crying baby per episode was really off-putting.
It's strange for me. I had dinner there but never got a chance to see the podcast. So now that it's no longer part of the show it kind of feels like I just ate at a random restaurant in a mediocre part of DC.

Gah, sorry for the spoiler. I figured you're a bigger fan than me even and would've been all over it by now. I thought I was late to the party.

I’m interested in how TK explains this

I thought chatter was fine as a podcast venue, but don’t really care that it won’t be there anymore. Doesn’t really have much affect on the show unless something like painting the mural comes up.

I really didn't like the dishes clanking around. It was cool having the 'audience' there for them to banter with at times, during mailbag and stuff. Crying children absolutely triggered me though, that sound and kicking a dog might be the two sounds I want to hear the least when I'm trying to relax.

got around to that part. Such an unceremonious end. They kind of rushed past it, without any particular explanation
I guess they're hemorrhaging money out of Chatter.
like MWB says it doesn't really affect me, though I do regret deciding to sleep in instead of attending the podcast recording when I was in DC
oh and I agree the dish clanking was annoying

i don't understand how you can own a restaurant of that size as a 4-person partnership and expect any kind of return from it. They must have been doing it as a hobby.
I hope the renovations are for the exterior of the building. It's so set back from the street that you'd hardly notice it was there even if you're looking for it. I literally walked past it the first time I was there and had to go back to get inside.

I’m wondering what they’re going to do with the side podcasts they did there. I wish I’d had the chance to go see one there. It seems like it would’ve been an intimate setting, and TK actually seems to appreciate the people who go observe.

This is the one thing that irks me regarding OverDrive. Most books, even books like Harry Potter that have been out for years, have such long waiting lists. And you can only take them out for 3 weeks. If it's a long book, I have to put the player at 1.5x to get through it.Source of the post Harry Potter is actually why I looked into Audible.

Renting physical media at the library, you could renew up to 2 times, for a total of 9 weeks. It was the only way I got through Song of Ice and Fire.

Anyone listen to the Pittsburgh Oddcast? It's pretty interesting. Love hearing about the history of Pgh, both normal and strange.

Finished up Serial season 3. Fantastic stuff. I read enough to know skipping season 2 was a good idea.
Just listened to the first episode of S-town... This John guy sounds like an interesting fella down in Alabama, but I'm not sure this is actually going anywhere. We'll see.

Also, quoting my original review:
But, MWB liked it...Look. I enjoy being 'that guy' and often play it up a little. But...S-town:Yeah, I'm going to listen to the whole thing on my drive home from St. Paul to Pitt next weekend. It completely wrecked a friend of mine, looking forward to it.
tl;dr: This is a 7 hour long 'This American Life' episode that could have been presented in an hour without losing anything.

Just got excited about season three of serial and downloaded it... and realized I’ve already listened to it.
Anyone have good recommendations for something in that vein? I have 34 hours of driving coming up and need something.
