  • Podcasts are a leftover from the non centralized and non-monetized internet of the past. Because is that most Podcasts are still available as rss feeds, so you should only ever get adds if they are spoken by the Podcasts hosts. Ate you taking about those? Only something like sponsorblock would help against those. I use antennapod (fdroid) on android to listen to Podcasts. Sine hosts always start their podcast with an add, but you can autoskip the first minute of a certain podcast with antennapod every time. It has a setting for that. Antenna pod itself is foss software without adds.









  • I always loved the Song of Ice and Fire books by George Martin, be aware that the series is not finished, though. I am a big fan of Stephen King as well, he writes great characters. It, Shawshank Redemption, The Dark Tower… Thuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom is very emotional, I could not even finish it. Deadhouse Gates by Stephen Erikson. The Liveship Traders by Robin Hobb just to name a few…



  • I am into emotional storytelling as well, I think what gets you involved most are well drawn characters.

    I would recommend planescape torment for an epic adventure full of stories, characters and heartbreak.

    Really good stories/characters are few and far between in computer games but “The longest journey” comes to mind and even the first Witcher game.

    Unavowed comes to mind as well as a rather affecting story.

    And a couple of dozen books, but that’s not what you asked for…
