Similar feelings. Podcasts in particular are tricky because they do require active participation, in a way. Even if it doesn't feel like it, parsing and paying attention to what people say is work I've found that listening to random music ("I'm feeling lucky" on Google Music) is much more soothing than listening to any podcast... But walking around and listening to your surroundings are a good way to cool off, and kinda forget about difficulties. Listening to the traffic go by can be hypnotic....
