somehow i can’t stand the experience of listening to podcasts? i think something feels subtly bad to me about listening to voices w/o seeing accompanying faces

Can you say any more about what kind of subtle badness? On my end, podcasts and phone calls are both good. Sort of disembodied, but I don’t (currently) have an objection to the diembodiedness.
it's like... okay so it's like a call only i can't talk back? so then it's like watching TV only i can't see any faces? i feel fidgety and restless and constantly want to stop the podcast to do something else. haven't tried walking much though

+1 on generally not liking listening to podcasts. There’s less of a participatory, interdependent relationship with one-way listening. Almost has the feel of a robo-call, like it won’t matter if I “hang up.” It’s not a conversation, not an audiobook, not radio.

Have you tried speeding up the podcast? I feel bored at 1x, and satisfied at 1.5x or 2x. I also need to be doing something with my hands or body: biking, folding laundry, gardening.
