Questão de Languages, Codes and their Technologies #019e354a
Já ouvi gente falando que o podcast é o renascimento do rádio. O rádio é genial, uma mídia imorredoura, mas podcast não tem nada a ver com ele. O formato está mais próximo do ensaio literário do que de um programa de ondas curtas, médias ou longas.
Podcasts são antípodas das redes sociais. Enquanto elas são dispersivas, levam à evasão e à desinformação, os podcasts são uma possibilidade de imersão, concentração, aprendizado. Depois que eles surgiram, lavar a louça e me locomover pela cidade viraram um programaço. Um pós-almoço de domingo e aprendo tudo sobre bonobos e gorilas. Um táxi pro aeroporto e chego ao embarque PhD em reforma tributária.
