Do people really consider podcasts to take less time than conventional reading? For me the opposite is true, though I understand how podcasts/audiobooks can be convenient under certain conditions.
Tangent: Listening to audiobooks is better practice in identifying some kinds of bad writing.
I often find places in audiobooks that I just can't listen to - I have to replay them 3 or 4 times before I am able to pay attention, because there's one particular sentence that is so boring or devoid of information that my mind always wanders off to something else. I never notice this while reading.
