My friend likes this 3hours podcast of bunch of people in a table just chatting and talking over each other and I can't stand It, I like a 20min podcast that has a script, is edited and transmit a coherent message. Them he told me he likes to listen like in the background while working (we are programmers) and then it all makes sense. I can't listen to the type of podcasts that I like because I have to pay attention. Music is better I can tune out the music while focusing on writing code (and maybe reading code) but I can't do it while I am reading documentation and researching.
