Don't know if there's already a thread here like this but it would be cool if people would share a picture where they listen to the bombcast/beastcast. Usually I spend most of my listening on the subway in Stockholm going back and fourth from work. This is a picture from one of the bridges leading out from central Stockholm to the suburbs.
Where do you listen to the bombcast/beastcast? [PICTURE!]
1) On the way to work. I know it's probably not the safest idea, but when I drive to work I pop in earbuds off my laptop. Now, the kicker is that during most months, my commute is only about 15 minutes down one Interstate exit. But I live in southwest Florida, the world's capital of Snowbirds, aka old people who keep a condo they stay at during the winter months. Then my 15-minute commute turns into a 40-minute commute, surrounded in traffic by cars with license plates from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, and Iowa.
2) When I'm grading. I love teaching, but I kinda hate grading. If I get in too bad a mood while grading, my students' overall average scores go down. So to keep me happy, I listen to the Bomb/Beastcast while grading.
I listen to the Bombcast/Beastcast almost exclusively while commuting. My commute's long enough that I can listen to both episodes each week, with some extra time left over to work through the back catalog or occasionally other podcasts.
I'm on my phone so I can't embed it, but here's a picture I took while stopped in traffic a few days ago: http://i.imgur.com/fozbxEN.jpg
On the commute to work via Bike or Subway through Berlin.
I'm listening to it with the apple in-ear headphones, so I can hear enough of my surroundings to make it safe to work. Unfortunately autumn is coming and the rain prevents me from bothering to stop with the bike and take a picture today. Maybe some other day.
The commute to-and-from work (typically 20-25 minutes each way), and sometimes during work if I've got a lot of time in front of a computer.
How about a video? I took this at work while listening to the bombcast!

Don't have a picture right now, but I listen on the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey, driving an hour to and from work.
I am a family doctor working in a troubled district of Barcelona, the Southern Raval. In this part of town with recent inmigration from Pakistan and India many old people live in bad conditions, many old buildings do not have elevators and a big part of my job involves visiting people at their homes.
So most of the podcast gets listened while walking around.
I listen on my commute to work. I also like to listen when I am playing a game like Destiny or Fallout 4 (clearing buildings and exploring). I know Dan mentioned watching a show or podcast when playing Destiny and that was what I most of the summer when playing Destiny. Back in my WoW days I use to do the same thing, watched all of 30 Rock that way. :)
Really the only time where I am idle for long enough to listen to a podcast is when I'm playing video games, so lately I've been listening to it while playing Fallout or messing around more in MGSV. Sometimes when walking to the store to pick up groceries; but that and my commute to classes is only about 10-20 minutes.
@edgaras1103: Respect. I listen while at work and sometimes if I'm busy I miss half the podcast.
I really like this idea of seeing photos of how/where people do the same thing as you (listening to the Bombcast) in other parts of the world, there's something culturally interesting from it. More people should share photos to this.
As for me, I listen to the Bombcast at home, in a really small town near Coimbra, Portugal.
I do it either by going outside to the balcony when there's acceptable weather:
Or while I'm working (I freelance from home):
The scenic Assistant Editor foxhole! Though it usually spills over into the commute home, via subway and/or bike.1
@blueskatten: Tranebergsbron! Looks like I'm not the only one listening to the bombcast on the green line. Nowadays I'm more into my 3DS than enjoying the view though.
@guanophobic: @blueskatten: Hey, other Swedes! And Stockholmers none the less (green line even!).
I live and work fairly close to the Bromma airport, and usually listen to the bombcast while walking there or taking a longer walk after work. The airstrip landing beacons are probably the most interesting landmarks I regularly pass by:
