There's almost zero alpha in listening to podcasts. You're not getting smarter doing this, it just feels like you are.

Not sure how to say one has become objectively smarter. But getting new perspectives and knowledge is something I really dig for in podcasts.

Just floating the idea that this may be an illusion
if i come out of a listen knowing more than I did before, and retaining that information...

from personal experience I strongly disagree. I think it depends on how does one actually listen to the audio - passive or active. I often pause and think about what I've heard, and conduct further independent research. podcasts are great sources of information to work with.
