I don't have a good memory at all, but for some reason, if I listen to a podcast a second time I can recall exactly where I was as the podcast goes on. For example, if I listened to the (fantastic) “search engine” podcast about pig butchering I would know where I was walking my dog, or cleaning the kitchen, etc… It's very odd

My memory is rubbish generally except I can draw the floorplan of anywhere I have lived or stayed. But directions, conversations, dates, forget it!

It's not just you! I make the same association with podcast episodes, except I usually listen to podcasts while gaming, so for me it's in-game locations or quests.

That's why memory locations are a common trick to memorize information. See Method Of Loci.
