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

Okay that makes sense, but can we talk about the component of badness that is common across phonecalls and podcasts. Why is “I can’t see faces” bad? Is it just the fidgety thing or is there more?
listening to a podcast in bed rn to feel it some more. find that my attention is wandering (even though the content is fascinating!). i don't know what to do with my... eyes? like my eyes are starved for something to do?

So I deliberately listen to podcasts only when otherwise-engaged (eg driving), or when I’m tired enough I need to recover with my eyes closed. If I lie down and listen to a podcast when I have too much energy, I also lose focus and try to look at my phone.

I only listen to podcasts when walking or cleaning, doing laundry, etc. Can’t focus on them otherwise, but walking in the city + podcast is a perfect mix to capture my attention

Interesting! I want to know more about that eyes being starved for something to do. Would looking at a visualizer while listening solve this? What about closing your eyes and letting your visual imagination riff off the podcast material?

I have to set the playback speed to around 1.7x to avoid mind-wandering
