> even playing video games is when I listen to podcasts. This is where you lost me. The only way I could possibly play video games and listen to a podcast is if I'm playing a video game that I've played enough that I've reduced the game down to going through the motions. If I'm playing a game I've never played before while a podcast is on, I can only really pay attention to one at a time. If I'm listening to the podcast, I can't properly follow plot points/dialogue/etc. If I'm following plot points/dialog/etc. in the game then whatever is happening in the podcast is going in one ear and out the other without being processed. For me, it's almost like trying to read a book while listening to a different audio book.
