So, podcasts are not ADHD-friendly, it seems. Because for me it’s either full focus or none at all.

I have ADHD and almost always have an audiobook (TTS, technically) or podcast on while driving it doing chores.

What I like about TTS is that I can speed it up enough (~6× speed) that my mind doesn't wander, to match my adHd. Podcasts I usually max out at 2.0× speed because human voices are harder to understand at higher speeds. Any slower and they can't keep my attention. 1.0× speed is painful, and I don't take anything in.
