Podcasts cater to the part-time nerd, dedicated to soaking up knowledge ambiently. That’s because they are designed for passive consumption; a cause and symptom of our cracked attention spans, perfect for the age of optimization and the cult of busyness. But podcasts are by no means background noise, because they work hard to be engaging, often doing so using a strong authorial voice.

「文章背景」
二十年来,播客以数不尽的方式颠覆了流行文化,比如让喜剧更具亲和力,拉近歌手与听众的距离,让我们有机会接触到更多感兴趣的内容等。对于我们中的大多数人,播客已经成为时常相随的伙伴,为我们建立类社会性的联结,让我们听到坦诚的对话,发掘令人兴奋的故事。与前播客时代的娱乐不同,播客并不依靠那些令人急躁、扰乱或不适的技巧吸引观众的注意力,相反它们靠亲密、重复和熟悉的气氛来建立与听众的长期联系。播客上的喜剧节目充满了只有常听众才能理解的圈内笑话,所以你听得越多就会补回馈越多的欢乐。这种高曝光、高产出的节目模式若要效果好,需要的不是精心打磨的段子,而是主播们的情感分享,源自生活的忠实爆料,甚至是平凡无聊的日常细节。
