Personaly, whenever the bombcast hits on Tuesdays, I download it on my Ipod (usualy through the RSS feed because the itunes version isnt usualy up until later on or the next day) and I listen to it while doing my excercise. I walk 10 laps around the park (which takes me about a hour, so I have plenty of Bombcast left usualy afterwards) then later that day I walk the dog 6 laps around the park (which takes me about 30 minutes or whatever), that total being about 5 miles a day of walking and usualy im doing that while still listening to the podcast.
So Jeff, Brad, Vinny and Ryan are actualy benefiting my health in a way. So good on them.
I typically play a game of civ rev or something of similar length whilst listening. Generally if i time it right, the game will end just as the bombcast does.
Of course if the bombcast decides to go into overtime, then i listen to the end of it whilst walking to supermarket or something equally dull and boring.
Usually listen to it a day later, while either reading a book or working on my own. And stop working when the talk gets interesting or funny, can't concentrate with these guys being funny! xD
lol, I remember listening to it at my work at target one time and busting out laughing while I was doing inventory work. manager got mad and said I cant listen to Ipod anymore.
Working. Usually i sit by a computer, scan stuff or sort all sorts of papers so i have plenty of time. Then theres the screened and tested podcast aswell.
@Raven_Sword: Exactly, I can't concentrate when Ryan starts "Uh uh uh"ing xD Also why I don't listen anywhere public anymore, I'm enough of a fool already without the bombcast adding up!
@Rockanomics: We women got this thing called multitasking...^^
Usually play a game that takes minimal attention and doesn't need the sound. Borderlands worked amazingly until i had done nearly everything in it. Been listening while playing halo 3 recently but that takes my attention away too often, need to find a new game to bombcast to.
I listen while playing a game with no heavy story bits so when i jump in a game of demons souls , modern warfare 2 or 3d dot game heroes. Also if i have a long drive to a friends house i will pop it on to listen on the way.
Well.. I sit back in my chair and ummm... have one hand down my... eeeehh .. No honestly, I listen to the podcast while I am working in the office. I'm mostly working with spread sheets so doing numbers while listening to the crew is pure bliss. :D
I download it the following day because I am at work when they unleash it upon us. I usually then listen to the bombcast on my way to work and back. Yup, long commute but I look forward to every Wednesday because the crew makes it so much more fun to laugh while I drive.
I'm either lying in bed about to sleep or exercising while I listen to the bombcast. I can't really do anything else while I listen because I eventually tune it out and miss out on parts of it. I stopped listening to it while I'm out doing stuff because shits way too funny and I just get funny looks from people. I remember I took my mom to the hospital awhile ago and I was just sitting in the waiting room laughing to myself in a corner lol.
I never listen to the bombcast on Tuesdays as it is never out on Tuesdays.
When I do listen I either draw some crap, play a game that doesn't require any reading or listening (or at least doesn't for several large chunks of it) or I take a walk. Edit: Example of non-podcast compatible game: Phoenix Wright. Example of podcast compatible game: Assassin's Creed 2.
I usually play video games, though never narrative intensive ones. A racing game, a mindless shooter (WET and The Club are good candidates), maybe some Peggle or other XBLA games.
Working out. One of the only podcasts that doesn't get "boring" (for working out) after a while. Otherwise, like the other podcasts, I'll just walk around my house listening to it. Especially while doing chores.

Exactly. I usually go for some kind of puzzle game. Some variant of mahjong-solitaire, puzzle quest, peggle.. something like that.
Working at my job. I'm generally alone in my cubicle so I just listen to it once through and then again if I can find the time between other podcasts then go home. My life sucks.
Being all ironically post-modern- Im usually gaming. Handy if they discuss the game Im playing but typically I play something non-important or at least not story heavy. I listen to all my podcasts in this way actually, dunno why, kinda become an addictive multi tasking obsession of mine.
