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.
When I knit, the latter calls for something mindless, and I can do a lace pattern with the former.
It's downright weird. I'm so not a podcast kind of person, and I hate talk radio.
This sounds like me as well. The only time I ever got a speeding ticket was driving while listening to a audio book. I hate talk radio, podcasts and only enjoy audio books when riding in car on a long trip when I am not driving. No one in my house can read in the car, it makes us car sick.
