Related question: When do people listen to podcasts? I can't listen while I work, and my commute isn't long enough to get through many podcasts.

Bathroom/shower time, driving, laundry, smoke breaks, cooking dinner, cleaning.

Hm. Those are all my thinking time. When else do we get a chance to just cogitate on things? The modern urge to anesthetize ourselves with sound at every opportunity to think, makes me wonder if we've become afraid to be alone with our thoughts.

Or you could only listen during half of those things.
