I listen to the entire thing, even if there is a subject I don't care about or find boring, the guys still are hilarious and crack jokes so it keeps it entertaining.

@Matfei90: I'm not saying her opinion wasn't valid. I'm saying i could not stand hearing that horrible voice and tone. Plus the fact that she just wouldn't let others talk.   You want a great woman on the podcast? Get Carry back she'll show ya.

Only once when it was a good 20 minutes talk about Street Fighter 4, a game I don't care about.

The reverse actually happens to me. Often, something may get my attention while I listen to a podcast in general and a game name will be said once during a whole discussion about it, leaving me confused if I don't rewind a few seconds back just to find out they were talking about Cooking Mama not Modern Warfare.

I listen to the podcasts in bits through the whole day, so no, there's no need. The problem with the podcast is the same as with the Endurance Run - sometimes I think it's too long, but at the same time, I get annoyed when there's a short episode of ED and I think the same would apply to the Bombcast. Setting yourself to watching or listening in bits is the best solution - if there's an awesome part, there's no problem with making the bit longer, if "boring" stuff comes, you just leave it for the next 15 minutes after you cool down and it becames much more interesting.

Okay, it's time for a pointless and dumb digression!

Shit, after comparing Bombcast with Endurance Run, I realised that when the ER ends, there's not a friggin' way for the Bombcast to take its place in my heart. Reason - ONCE A WEEK.

ER is made of great character development, touching/funny moments, awesome plot and happy randomness that ensues almost the whole goddamn week, which results in awesome. Bombcast is made of awesome itself, but it runs once a week. After the Endurance Run ends, I'm going to suffer from a great loss of awesome in my organism.

It's not going to end. Right?

It's the Bombcast! There are no bad parts, so no.

EDIT: There are spoilers that I've wanted to skip, but there's never a good indication how far to skip ahead and sometimes there's no indication at all.

I typically don't bother skipping any section since I usually just have it on in the background while I'm doing something else. Occasionally I will skip the "New Releases" section though just because that tends to be the least interesting portion of most episodes in my opinion.

This exactly. That's the only part I've ever skipped.

Leigh is awesome, you're crazy.  Although, crazy people are entitled to their crazy opinions.  Anyways, no, I don't really skip around podcasts.  As someone else said, I might zone out if I'm not that interested in what's being discussed, but if it's that painful for me to listen to, I just won't finish it.  Though, that hasn't happened with the Bombcast.

You never know what great joke you might miss if you skip sections that don't otherwise interest you.  There are occasional bon mots in almost every section of the podcasts.

Again, don't get me wrong, i'm sure she's intelligent, and i've seen a couple of pictures, i'd do that woman 100 times over. But the fact is that when she speaks, my ears are bleeding. And she likes to speak too much and too fast. I don't like it.

The only time I skip parts is when listening to a podcast for the second time (I use podcasts as an easy way to unwind and get to sleep at night) and there's a particular part I either don't care about or it's too boring to hear it a second time. Usually, that means guest spots or some of the event-specific talk at the beginning of the show.

I listen to it whilst I make and then eat lunch, followed by some casual gaming/browsing. It's pleasant background noise.

I've only skipped once, and that was the treyarch dude.
I do have the urge to skip sometimes when they're talking about guitar hero/rock band stuff cause that doesn't interest me at all. but then someone usually says something funny and I keep listening.

Only if it sounds like they're starting to reveal spoilers about a game I'm playing, just to make sure. But since that rarely happens, no. NEVER!!

I don't think they've ever talked about something that I wasn't interested in hearing their opinions on.  So no.

Hell to the no. I listen to every last second.  I usually listen to it at least 3 or 4 times a week, as well.

If there were boring parts I would skip them but it's the Giant Bombcast, there arn't any boring bits, maybe your thinking about other podcasts?

No.
 
I'm usually playing a game or something so if they start talking about something uninteresting I just tune out for a bit.
