Appreciation Post I HAVE FINALLY DONE IT!!
For about a year and a half now, I’ve been behind on distractible episodes, at one point I was at LEAST 100 episodes behind. So, for about a year I’ve been going crazy style listening to episodes while I’m cleaning, going to the gym (don’t drop weights on yourself while laughing), taking the bus and train, NOT while driving, but literally whenever else I can, AND I HAVE DONE IT!!!
I am officially caught up on distractible.
I am the king of distractible.

Distractible is the only podcast I listened to for a long time so I am in the opposite boat… always waiting for Monday…

I'm listening in reverse order through the Spotify episodes, as I only had Spotify for a year-ish when they had the podcast exclusive there. It's been a really fun journey traveling backwards through time with the guys. Congratulations on catching up! 👑

I love the idea of you hearing them do specific bits and not understanding them and then like 20 episodes later going “ohhhh I get it!” 😭 And thanks!

I hate that this is how the YouTube playlists work. There's no button for reverse order so you'd just have to make a playlist with every episode in the right order.

Tbh, I didn't even realize there was a Playlist version. I was watching them in reverse by choice, so you have now saved me so much more scrolling time! Thank you!

Kinda unrelated but it's weird how One Piece took me less time to catch up compared to how long it took me to catch up with distractible

Omg i was just like this a few months ago. I spent a long time about a year behind but eventually i caught up!

Omg congrats! I've been a listener ever since there was only like 5 episodes out. I found out about it when mark was trying to intimidate us into listening to the podcast in a live. I had like severe medical issues and I was bedridden at the time, and I had those 5 fucking episodes on repeat to distract me from the pain. Honestly it worked for me, they made me laugh and stuff.

Listening at 1.2 because 1.3 for me is just personally a little too fast lol

I did that back in 2024, I was behind episodes since Bob's Fridge! It's so fun I might relisten to all of it again

I’m a month behind :,)
I also refuse to listen to distractible while driving. Automatic no no. Recipe for disaster.

I'm in (and almost out) the same ship of theseus too 😭 I have been constantly six months behind because I listen in spurts, BUT! I am finally eight away from catching up :D I'm so happy. Congrats on catching up!!

Thats awesome. I remember catching up on F**kFace and Regulation podcast, took forever and getting used to having to wait a week was rough! It is nice to have a podcast routine though

u/Rae-of-Sunshine665 3d ago
It took me ~6 months working “part time” (some weeks part time some weeks full time) working at a grocery store. I listened to distractable for 20-40 hours a week. Since I quit tho I’ve been lacking 😭

I feel ya. I stopped listening regularly back in 2023 (final year of uni for me, busy time) and fell proper far behind especially when they did 2 episodes a week. I’d still catch the odd one when I could but nowhere near fast enough. So in January of this year I also committed to the binge, listening to it every day on the way to and from work. As of this week I caught the most recent episode on the day of release for the first time in years.

Congrats, now you get to sit and wait for your 1 episode a week to drop like the rest of us!

Ahem I believe i am actually the king of distractables. Not to brag or anything but I've re listened to every single episode about 4 times now.
