I don't know about you but often it can be hard for me to listen to Stefan's podcasts effectively on the computer; I hoard good, useful news articles and read them in the same time. Even when I'd realize the podcast is important. A solution to that (at least for me) is a game that keeps one busy, while not distracting your attention too much from the podcast: Cookie Clicker, a simple yet addictive browser game that you can play for thousands of hours.
