Does anyone else listen to podcasts ?

Here’s one we just started. The Jungle Prince of Delhi.

from The NY Times -

Solving a mystery in India

Millions of people have read “The Jungle Prince of Delhi” since it was published on Nov. 22, and many more have listened to the three-part podcast.

The tale of an eccentric family of deposed aristocrats who lived in a ruined palace was well known to foreign correspondents posted to India. But our reporter Ellen Barry kept returning to the story after her tenure as The Times’s Delhi bureau chief — and found an entirely new narrative.

Her account reaches deep into the tumult of Britain’s partition of India and Pakistan, and explores how dislocation reshaped one family into an enduring legend.

I expect Carlos would enjoy that with a nice cup of tea, some cucumber sandwiches and a plate of scones.

Yes! I’ll suggest that.

Meanwhile, back to my original question: does anyone here listen to podcasts?

Splinter · Dec 3rd 2019

I would, if i could get past the BBC geoblocking, because they excellent podcasts.

Rice · Dec 3rd 2019

Why do they practice geoblocking? I understand in the case of commercial enterprises like sports, but for general content, entertainment, news, commentary etc, I don’t see the benefit.

It's all about the TV licensing laws in the UK.
