The Bill Simmons Podcast
NBA Podcast Consumption vs. Game Watching
- Derek Thompson listens to hundreds of hours of NBA podcasts yearly but barely watches any games.
- He calculated a 300:1 ratio of podcast listening to actual game viewing.
- He calls this "psychotic behavior" and questions what it means for sports media economics.
- He enjoys the NBA primarily through analysis and becomes a fan mainly during the playoffs.
- Thompson compares this phenomenon to the way people consume late-night TV show clips online rather than watching full episodes.
