It all depends on your personal taste...but I like Podcasts that are well-produced. For example, "Phiddipidations", by Steve Runner, is one of my favorites. He's a total geek, by his own proclamation, and that's part of what makes his podcast entertaining. But, he's also a former DJ, so it's edited extremely well, and he manages to make it not just entertaining, but also informative and inspiring. I listen to this during some of my long runs, because I don't really care if I'm not paying much attention to the podcast for some stretches of being really attuned to my body...but I also like being able to do some dissociative running "breaks" along the way...and podcasts are perfect for me when I want that.

I totally agree, I've had that happen, you know let's say if you're running on the road and going to cross a street and are focusing on all the traffic, the cross-walk lights, the people walking towards you with the dog on the leash, the cute girl in the SUV checking you out and then you realize you've been hearing but not listening to the audio. And then its a pain in the butt to rewind back because the light just turned green and its your turn to cross
