The Podcast Asylum

Sufferers of PHMS become so oblivious to their surroundings, and so determined to listen to podcasts under all conditions, that the welfare of defenseless headsets is no longer a concern to them, and they callously permit their cables to catch in and snag on every passing protuberance, tearing the delicate audio connections to shreds. In some cases, this disease can be treated with expensive Bluetooth wireless headphones; in others, by placing the patient in a padded cell where the headset leads will be safe from marauding handles and knobs.
