Contra this point, I actually think audio is an incredibly significant and underrated medium. Podcasts are just low-hanging fruit. Audiobooks are becoming their own art form, virtual assistants are just starting to figure out the terrain, "Her" is still an unrivaled movie.

Podcasts imo a true problem-to-be-solved (in Clay Christensen sense) medium. Very few people actually prefer audio as a medium to consume information. It mainly solves the "boring commute" or "boring chores" problem. Change my mind.

Used to once. Haven't intentionally listened to music really for over 10 years now. Vastly prefer silence or ambient noises. If I can't ignore/tune out music (I just noticed there's music playing right now in this starbucks), I tend to leave.

Very rarely, and it tends to make for poor talks with me. This is why I hate doing short talks (TED length or lightning... 7-20 minutes) because the tight constraint forces you to rehearse far more than I like to. My best talks are 60-90 minutes.
