I feel like something has gone wrong brain/biology wise because I have arrived at the rage-against-change stage about thirty years too early.

By the way, I wasn’t trying to make a statement with the caps. I was unsure about how it should be written, which tells you something about how unfamilar I am with podcasts. I don’t think I’ve ever watched one. They always seem too time-consuming. Fifty minutes doesn’t seem like long when I plan to spend it on reading something, but somehow it feels super long when I have to watch something. I’m weird.

You’re right, of course.
It’s just that mostly when I listen to something I’m primarily focused on something else. That doesn’t much matter when I listen to music (when I read or exercise or clean etc.) because a song doesn’t stop making sense when you’ve missed parts of it. I doubt this applies to podcasts. So, I could either turn all my attention to the podcast, which I still kind of don’t want to do or listen to it in the background, which to me seems stupid because I will probably miss most of it. I guess that when it comes to podcasts I suck at multitasking.
