I can't audiobook or podcast. Processing spoken language takes my full mental capacity and even at it's peak I can always read several times quicker. Without my full and undivided attention I may as well be listening to white noise.
I attribute this partially to books and (non voice acted) video games being the primary media I consumed as a kid. I never really watched TV/listened to radio. I also think it is some mild kind of neurodivergence.
Similarly, I find music with lyrics in English either distracting or annoying. I happily listen to music with lyrics in other languages though.
