Consume yes, but how much of that do you actually retain when you are doing anything that requires real attention? This seems like one of those things that give you the feeling of getting informed, but in reality you are mostly just wasting your time.

I used to listen to a number of podcasts regularly, but I would repeatedly notice that I barely remembered what the key points were. In the end, I cut down my consumption more and more, and only listen to episodes that I specifically find interesting, and only when I have the time and mental resources to really listen to them.
