I'm a 70 year old White male of Italian descent. Retired social worker. I live in Connecticut. My health isn't great and when I had my prostate cancer surgery last year I was told that I had about 5 more years before I shuffled off from the world's stage. I have never listened to a podcast and never will. If I need info I prefer to read it in 5 minutes rather than listen to some-one yacking for 30.
I don't use ANY social media either - unless you want to say letters of comment (or to the editor) are a form of social media.
The 2 years of enforced isolation due to the Covid nonsense was a wonderful time for me. I caught up on a lot of reading. Yours was an interesting article. I'm glad that I read it!
Podcasts, parasocial relationships, and the birth of the Enlightenment
