Beginning if I like it.
Am working my way through a comedian’s interview podcast. Was a tough slog listening to all the episodes through the pandemic.
I’m a “completionist” sort of person, so I’d start at the beginning. Not saying I recommend doing so. It’s just a quirk of my psychology.
I try the latest episode, then if I like it, I start from the beginning, unless it’s a current events podcast.
The only logical way.
Also, when you find that the first five episodes have lousy sound quality, you skip those.
Everyone has to start somewhere.
It depends on what it is about and how old the older episodes are
I usually look for a recent episode with someone I like or a topic I think is interesting
I start at the beginning and see what happens
Once I know its something I’m interested in I go back to the beginning. I’m still somewhere in 2019 in Behind the Bastards. They were so hopeful then . . .
I haven’t made it through the entirety of a single person that they’ve covered. Probably because it usually takes at least two episodes. But it is hours and hours of just unrelenting irredeemable actions by these people, and it’s just more than I can take. And I only tried Henry Kissinger and Elon Musk, And I just can’t do anymore. They get so in depth and so detailed sometimes that it’s just too much.
I used to be a completist and would start at ep 1. Now, if there is a big back catalog I’m more likely not to listen to the podcast at all and will only rarely get in at the current episode.
When I started Chilluminati, I kept current on new episodes as they came out, and worked from the beginning otherwise.
