Podcasts have come to occupy a similar spot in my media consumption. It isn’t so much about any real learning just satisfying inquisitive urges. I am under no illusions that I would become an expert of a topic by listening to a podcast, but I still enjoy learning about things even if retention is very low. It was/is the same for Wiki articles. They can also both be great starting points for deeper dives providing just enough context to let me know if I am even interested in further time commitments. Another thing that have been replaced by podcasts, at least for me are specialty news sites. No need to go read about last nights Red Wings game or the latest blockbuster when a podcast can give me that information, and when I am on a walk or driving to work.
