I’ve kind of liked podcasts for some time now, but have not listened to them on a regular basis largely because of a flaw that I had entirely imagined. Today I drove around running a few errands, listening to one of my favorite podcasts from these guys. I was mildly annoyed when I finished up earlier than I thought I would and had not gotten to the end of my podcast, because I knew I’d have to fuss around to figure out where I left off and hear the end. Since I’m generally only in the car for 20 - 40 minutes at a time, this characteristic of podcasts has left me less enthusiastic about them than I might be. Today, though, out of dumb luck, I plugged the iPhone in to sync/charge a few minutes before I double-clicked the podcast to resume listening. I was quite happy to hear it pick up just where I had left off in the car. I can think of three or four podcasts I’d have listened to more regularly for the past couple years, had I discovered this feature sooner.
