       One reason I like podcasts:The world needs more "slow, mindful media."Today's media depends on getting consumers algorithmically addicted to scrolling feeds by amplifying outrage, drama, and dopamine hits.Podcasting is different: it's "slow media."You have to take your time to consume a podcast episode. You (generally) can't respond or comment immediately; it minimizes knee-jerk reactions.#podcast

       By slowing down, there's the opportunity to mindfully consider different points of view and be thoughtful in how we respond.Whenever I listen to a podcast with a guest I'd previously perceived negatively, it's amazing how often I find my perspective shifting. A long-form episode humanizes people: it often softens my initial take.
