While the main story that's featured in Spider-Man for PlayStation 4 is entertaining in its own right, a lot of fans are becoming infatuated with the side content that's included. No, not just the hidden backpacks and the activated towers, but also some hilarious podcasts featuring J. Jonah Jameson.
In the game, Jameson has stepped away from his usual platform at the Daily Bugle and has decided to take up podcasting for his ranting, including those aimed at Spider-Man as well as other subjects. And fans apparently seem to be eating them up, loving J.J. for being, well, J.J.
You can check out some video examples of these podcasts below. And yes, they're as fun as you might expect.

Even though this rant is a bit on the short side, the fact that "Nazis made of bees" is mentioned is, well, hilarious. (Well, maybe not to bees.)

The game is chock full of rants like these, depending on when you feel like listening in. Granted, his opinions may not be for everyone and don't exactly mix with Spidey's crime-fighting antics, but they're worth a listen if you have extra time. Besides, you might learn a thing or two.
A lot of fans have sounded off their opinions about Jameson's rants online, and you can find some of them below:
Thank you .@insomniacgames for the little things in #SpiderManPS4 that bring the world to life. I love the "tweets" from citizens I've saved, the interactions with JJJ on Just The Facts people I've saved have. It's excellent and draws you into the world even more! #BeGreater

The JJJ Just the Facts audio segments in #SpiderManPS4 are frickin hilarious! 😂 I can’t stop laughing every time a new one comes on while I’m web swinging. Honestly @bryanintihar @insomniacgames completely nailed Jameson in this game, among other things they did perfectly.

The J Jonah Jameson Podcast in #SpiderManPS4 is probably now the all-time best video game audio collectible. So good i keep relistening to them.

The problem with the performance by @DarinDePaul as JJJ in #SpiderManPS4 is that he SO good you get distracted from what you should be doing and just listen to the radio instead.

Just to let you guys know if you don't play #SpiderManPS4 for a while and come back, J. Jonah Jameson will talk in his podcast about how no-one has seen Spider-Man around for a few days.

JJJ on his podcast trying to convince his listeners that Spider-man eats pigeons has actually been one of the highlights of my playthrough #Spidermanps4

I’ve been listening to J. Jonah Jameson’s podcast for 5 hours now and haven’t heard one BlueApron ad! Like, where can I donate to your Patreon? #SpiderManPS4

I used to find the rants of JJJ quite endearing but hearing how he’s portrayed in #SpiderManPs4 as a shock jock Fox News esque pundit makes me strongly dislike him. Great writing, but I always found him redeemable. Less so here.

Also, JJJ is a perfect Rush Limbaugh parody#SpiderManPS4

As for the actor that portrays Jameson, he had something to say as well.
Thrilled to announce that I voice one of my favorite Marvel characters J. Jonah Jameson in @insomniacgames #SpiderManPS4 . Proud to join your friendly neighborhood @YuriLowenthal & the rest of the spectacular cast in this truly amazing game! //t.co/Nfz05Euhuu via @YouTube

And of course, what better way to sum this up than with Spidey himself taking a jab at ol' J.J.? In the best way possible, of course.

It's all so good that if Jameson actually existed, he might pick up a copy of the game for himself. Well, he'd probably send someone else to do it and then insist he only did it to support his good work. But still…
Spider-Man is available now for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro.
