Too Many Podcasts?

I think I know perfectly well that I am subscribing to too many podcasts at the moment,I just need people to throw the fact at my face to stop this.
Just tell me,is 49 too many?
It's kinda out of control,and I am sorry but words just don't work for me,by the way,thanks Merlin for your post on cutting down the amount of information we force on our shoulder.

I agree. I think it's the first thing you've got to consider. If your podcasts are updated once a month, having as many as 100 is probably alright.

But even if they're very frequently updated and you still look forward to the new episodes and actually have the time to listen to them, why limit?

I listen to three podcasts. Two of them are updated weekly and one is updated almost daily and I listen to every episode and look forward to each.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
