whenever i listen to a podcast at my PC, i always feel the need to not do anything, because it will always result in not being able to hear what they are saying on the podcast, and ill have to rewind and re-listen alot, so i have started to watch starcraft replays while i listen, which leaves me something to do with my hands and eyes while i listen to the podcast, and it seems to be effective. but the podcasts are 1hr+ long, and so ill usually have to get 2-3 games lined up to listen to one. so im looking for some replays that are really long. about 45 minutes+. i have got a replay from Oystein on Col2 that was really good, and ive watched that a few times now, so im looking for more like that.

That was a really long explanation for such a simple request. Grab a pack of your favorite gamer's replays from TSL here. I'm sure you'll find plenty of long ones.

was also trying to see what others do when they listen to podcasts, to stop from just sitting there, staring at the monitor, but yeah, it was a bit long. thanks for that link, im sure ill find some good ones. was also looking for maybe some ones people know are really good and long, perhaps from pro-games or the sorts.

also: what version of SC was used in the TSL... :s

I do something similar. I listen to Audio books/Podcasts and either watch replays or VODs. I hate hearing Korean so I just mute it and watch the game, win win. I also watch random videos on youtube, like COD4 montages. I have come to play A LOT of Flash Turret Defense games while listening to them as well. Because I can concentrate on what's going on in the podcast and at the same time keep myself occupied.

They're called "podcasts" because they were initially intended to be listened to on an ipod. Generally people listen to them while traveling somewhere (ex. bus, train, bike). I listen to them while I'm working. Having lots of podcasts works really well for me because I work 7.5h shifts.

My suggestion would be to go jogging or biking while listening to them.

I'm proud to admit I listen to a Harry Potter podcast when I play WoW.

I usually listen to podcasts when I'm commuting/travelling or generally going outside. When I listen to them at home on my PC Diablo2 is the best way to keep my eyes and hands occupied :D
