3 h. ago ‘Painful to hear!’ How podcasts’ rush to video is turning them into dreadful listens

From Joe Marler’s visual-only stunts to the incomprehensible shuffling sounds Steven Bartlett recently subjected headphone users to, dodgy audio experiences are on the riseTo understand where we are in the evolution of podcasting, the opening episode of Joe Marler Will See You Now is unexpectedly instructive.
