That like saying I only read badly written, boring books, so you cannot learn from books at all. Already mentioned Dan Carlin's Hardcore History is amazing source of viewpoints and perspectives that completely upended my understanding of history. > Couldn't imagine doing two things at once and calling one of them 'work' and the other 'learning'. I doubt anyone here programs and listens to anything but essentially noise, be it music or podcast. You cannot focus on two serious things at once. But that's not what we are talking about here. We are talking about doing a menial task like preping veg for cooking or cleaning doesn't require much attention. You can almost do those at autopilot and thats why people find it boring - because their minds wonder and seek stimulation. Since you dont need much attention for those tasks you can absolutely listen to audiobook or interesting podcast and learn something.
