The only time I listen to music is when I'm doing something I need to concentrate my mind on. Otherwise I listen to podcasts/talk radio (NPR) while driving, cleaning, walking, gardening, etc.

My pet peeve about podcasts are the really long ones. I don't want to listen to 60-90 minutes, sometimes a few times a week they put out episodes. If this is the only listening you do it would be ok. I listen to a few podcasts, audiobooks and music.

I don’t really drive long distances much to make listening to podcasts worth it, but I prefer podcasts for my long walks. So I do music in the car and podcasts on walks.

I can't sustain enough attention for podcasts. I don't know - once I'm listening to them, I'm generally okay but I'd just much rather listen to music. Podcasts kind of feel like work to me.
ETA: when I'm cooking, I listen to NPR. How I view that differently, I don't know.

Mixture. Sometimes audiobooks, sometimes I deep dive into a subject and find any I can on a particular subject but don’t really listen to any on the regular. And sometimes music. If I’m alone it’s different music than with my son or husband.

In the car I listen to music. At home I enjoy silence 99% of the time. I listened to some podcasts but I just lose interest. This absolutely ^^^^

I love podcasts. I listen to them when I am doing boring things-like dusting-they make the time go by faster.

I selected Other.
I only listen to one podcast. I usually let several episodes stack and binge "listen" for awhile.
I have a book series I listen to on my way to work. When it's complete, I just start back at the beginning.
And then music. Usually about 50% of the time.

I selected other - audiobooks for me. I've listened to a couple of podcasts if a topic really interests me and they are really well produced, Generally I find people just talking on podcasts annoying, I'd much rather listen to a book. Audiobooks are my go-to for listening.

Music always. Podcasts and audiobooks don’t hold my attention. I hate talking on the radio so I subscribe to XM.

Nothing. I listen to kids talk nonstop in class so I prefer silence in the car. I don’t understand the podcast craze. I’ve tried. I do listen to audiobooks when I walk. Which I haven’t done all summer and my pants are not happy about that.
