Live Radio or Podcasts?

    So what do people find themselves listening to more these days?

    The only live radio I listen to is in the car, and I normally listen into News at 1 and/or Liveline (for teh lulz).

    However, I do listen to the History Show from RTE, Pat Kenny, Talking History (Newstalk) & the Late Debate, all on Podcasts. Which got me a-thinking. Are people listening to more podcasts/recorded shows, or live? Is there a fundamental difference? Do the folks here think that you miss out on something if you listen to the show after the fact?

    What say ye?

    I listen to podcasts or music on my mp3 player.

    I recently got a new car with no link for the mp3 player on the radio, but I'm working on that.

    The only live radio I really listen to would be football, or when I'm making a short drive to the shop, or when the mrs is in the car and she doesn't like the podcasts or my music tastes. Oh, and when I'm falling asleep, I stick on Tony Livesy on 5 Live.

    For the most part in work it's podcasts, for maybe 4 of the 8 hours I'm working, the rest of the time I'd be talking to colleagues, I'm subscribed to about 30 podcasts. A lot of football ones (Guardian, The Times, Skysports, BBC, Back Page Football, Newstalk), human interest ones like This American Life and Radiolab, BBC 4 Friday Night Comedy, some history ones too, and some other random stuff to keep me going.

    Miss out on anything? Not a bit of it, in fact, I find it better to be able to listen at my leisure to recorded shows, means I miss nothing and don't have ad breaks. It's great!
