: Podcast edging
My favorite podcasts are This American Life and Radiolab. Until recently, I hadn’t listened to either in years. I got super into both of them in college andlistened to every episode as soon as it came out. Then, I got into some other podcasts that I didn’t like quite as much. So, I always made a point of listening to the mediocre podcasts before my favorites so that I would still have the favorites to look forward to. But before long, I had subscribed to more mediocre podcasts than I had time to hear, and I never got deep enough to hear This American Life or Radiolab, and sort of just forgot that they existed. What is the word for this mental illness?
