I don't answer my phone -- if it's important, they'll text! Voicemail I run through and clean out once or twice a year. Leaving voicemails is something folks do just to feel retro anyway. I'm probably a bit younger than you -- when I do clean out my voicemail, these days, it's usually just spam anyway. Even businesses send me text notifications as appointment reminders. Once in awhile it's my mom, out of an old hard to break habit, but even that hasn't happened in a year or two. There's rarely good reason I should have to pause my podcasts just because someone wants to communicate.
