I’ve tried some that are supposed to be very good. Still can’t follow along unless I’m doing nothing but listening. In a handful of cases I’ve listened to and enjoyed specific episodes of one podcast or another for some topic I wanted to hear enough that I was willing to just sit and listen and watch the progress bar and not do anything else, but the value that others find in podcasts seems to be that they can listen to them in time that’d otherwise be lost to mundane activities—I can’t do that, I’ll constant be moving the podcast back a few minutes because I realize I’ve not processed a word they’ve said for quite a while, pretty soon I’ve doubled the time taken to do whatever else I’m doing and have taken 90 minutes to get 20 minutes into a half-hour podcast. [edit] probably-relatedly, I also can’t take notes and also follow what someone’s saying. If I take notes I’ll end up having written a bunch of stuff that I then have to read to figure out what was said. If someone asks me a question in the middle of note-taking I’ll typically have no clue what the context is.
