Gah!  ENVY. Serious envy.  I cannot listen to a podcast and get much of anything.
Even when I was in highschool I could not understand the lyrics to the popular
songs, had to go to the music store and look at the sheet music. Mostly it sounded
like sorta rhyming nonsense sylables.

For me, if there's not text, it's not going to happen.

No, I'm not deaf (yet, though I'm working on it in my old age) but I have great
difficulty distinguishing many sounds one from another.  All my life.  :(
