I suppose I’m in the minority here, but I avoid video or audio content entirely in these situations. I don’t want to listen to somebody babble on about something, whether it’s a news story, a documentary, an opinion piece, whatever. Just give me an article or even a blog post that I can read at my own pace, and easily scroll up to refer back to previous parts.

Ctrl+F is my best friend, and you can’t do that in a video or podcast.

my partner does this, it drives me nuts lol. makes me leave the room

Not a fan of doing this, personally

My brain doesn’t work that way, but I envy you. Even on a good day I have to go back and replay parts of audiobooks or podcasts that catch my attention just to make sure it’s really sinking in. It’s not efficient at all but it works.
