β | [[Randall]] (represented as [[Cueball]]) discusses his love of {{w|podcast}}s, episodic audio files of a talk show. He uses them to pass the time when doing chores. At one point he imagines what it would be like if someone made a podcast narrating books, as an easy and convenient way to digest literature when reading the book yourself isn't an option. As spelled out in the caption, he quickly realizes he hasn't invented a new concept but simply described the existence of an {{w|audiobook}}s, a product which has existed well before the concept of podcasts. It's also worth noting that although podcasts usually involve talking and discussions, podcasts that are essentially chapter-by-chapter audiobooks already exist | + | [[Randall]] (represented as [[Cueball]]) discusses his love of {{w|podcast}}s, episodic audio files of a talk show.

He confesses this has happened more than once, which as can also be seen in [[1367: Installing]] and [[2724: Washing Machine Settings]], is not the first time Randall has accidentally reinvented the proverbial wheel for an idea. | He confesses this has happened more than once, which as can also be seen in [[1367: Installing]] and [[2724: Washing Machine Settings]], is not the first time Randall has accidentally reinvented the proverbial wheel for an idea. |
