Travel has always been central to my podcast listening. Now that I work from home and have no commute, I've totally fallen off my previous habit. I was at peak podcast consumption when I had a long commute both ways.

It's not just about listening to the whole podcast while you travel - you just need to get far enough so you want to finish it. So I would imagine even short commute periods could result in a lot more listening.

I also don’t get why anyone would listen to a podcast rather than something worthwhile eg an audiobook. That’s what I do during commute, and that’s what I recommend to others. I actually look forward to commuting nowadays, it’s probably the most interesting hour or so in my entire day.
