Listening to podcasts is a terribly inefficient way
of transferring actual information. It's a bit like
asking Grandpa Simpson for directions. It takes
45 minutes, consists mostly of historical
inaccuracies and long rants about the messed up
state of the world today, and at the end you're
not really sure you aren't more lost than when
you started. But it sure is entertaining.
-- John Smyth, the "Ron Swanson of DevOps"
