No, I totally get it -- podfics aren't for everyone. :) I've gotten used to having headphones on so often; it's comforting, sometimes, having headphones on --either listening to music or to podfic-- while walking around. I feel like I'm in my own little world. :> (but yeah, my ears hurt after a while XD;;)

Haha, one time, I was on the bus and listening to the podfic of a fic I'd already read once -- I just knew I was going to cry at the ending, but I was in public, so I tried to hold back and just ended up looking all wibbly. XDD
