Podcast vs Articles

[Longtimesu]

Am I the only one who would rather read an article vs watching the same material in a podcast?

Syracuse.com sports writers seem lately to be more into producing a podcast about their reporting rather than writing an article, especially Brent Axe. And podcasts are popping up more and more on news outlets everywhere as well.

A podcast I watch may take 10 minutes. But I can scan or read the article in about 3-4 minutes.

There may be disagreements that podcasts are better than articles, especially among the younger crowd who are more favorable to podcasts than we older folk. But, I’m not concerned about which is better, a podcast or an article. I am interested in knowing how others feel regarding podcasts vs articles.

I agree. I’d rather read articles, and it’s not even close for me personally.

To me it’s a matter of what else I am doing. Sitting down on the couch having a cup of coffee I would rather read. Driving in the car or working out, listening to a podcast works better. It’s nice to have options.
