Nautigal, I am exactly the same way. I mean-- I just process auditory information so differently-- entirely verbally.

Weirdly, I can watch a movie with subtitles under far more distracting circumstances than I can listen to an audiobook.

It's downright weird. I'm so not a podcast kind of person, and I hate talk radio.
