Why is there a disproportionate amount of interesting text vs. spoken content?
davidw: The only thing I can really stand to listen too much is the audio version of The Economist.Mostly, though, I think long walks (or better, bike rides!) are better for listening to what's going through my own head.  I'm bombarded by enough information as it is.  Other than that, "GeneralMaximus" sums things up nicely.
