Entertainment

You can tell a lot about people by how they spend their free time. Here is what I am listening to, reading, or watching

Podcasts/Netcasts

My primary form of weekly entertainment is via audio podcasts. Depending on the audio quality I listen to them at 1.6X to 2X speed using Pocket Casts. While I get behind sometimes if I start listening to an audio book I usually get through all the episodes for the following each week. The priority is based totally on personnal preference and the amount of effort I go to to make sure I catch each show.

  • My OPML file is available for import into your favorite podcatcher.

Books

I love to read print books and to listen to audiobooks. While not always up to date the best way to see what I have been reading is currently from my goodreads page

Video

My video watching time is limited and mostly consists of Technology, Anime, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, and Mysteries. I consume most of my content on a Roku with the remainder on my phone. I would love to have a tool like a podcatcher that allows me to subscribe to what I am interested it and have it queue up for watching but unfortunately it does not seem to exist.

My current network source for shows in prority order are:

  • Crunchy Roll (ad free subscription)
  • Hulu (ad free subscription)
  • ITPro.tv (annual subscription)
  • Amazon Prime
  • ComicCon HQ
  • YouTube
  • CBS All Access

Value for Value

For those shows that I support based on the Value for Value model (V4V) I base my support on:

  • Applicability to my interests
  • Open License with extra value given to
  • General enjoyment
  • Audio Podcatcher and format friendly
  • Duration (up to a point)
