Unfortunately I can’t listen to podcasts. If I only listen to something without visual stimulation my mind start to think about unrelated things, and I just can’t follow what they speak about, I loose track after a while.
Before podcasts there were radio talk shows, I hated them similarly, and I tuned to another station where they were playing music.
I can only listen to podcasts and I really dislike the trend of everything being videos. Especially when it’s about how to do some technical thing and you have to watch someone using a terminal or doing a physical repair… I literally CANNOT. I can’t attend to the visuals. Just zone out. I mostly listen to TV/movies. When I was a kid you could get TV stations on the radio at night and I was totally happy to just listen to them.
So you enjoy your half of the media and I’ll enjoy my half. :)

I also can’t listen to podcasts but mostly because I’m quite deaf and I understand 70% of speech through lip-reading ☹️
I only listen to them while driving
