Well it is clearly the opposite for me, the more I consume video or audio content the less I build things. Audio and video put you in a position of comfort in which 'virtual' learning is easy. Learning can't be easy, that's the point of learning, and often the best way to learn is to experience and test by yourself, which is clearly the opposite of listening to podcasts. Also I do find that the content in podcast is almost always the same and only less than 5% of the talk is actually interesting As for people who explains that they are as much productive when coding only than coding and listening podcast at the same time, this is probably wrong, humans are not very good at doing two things at the same time
