Mostly walking outside or while doing various chores around the house. Oh and also cooking. Basically unless I'm sitting or interacting to someone I'm listening to an audiobook. 🤣
Do you prefer fiction or nonfiction or it just kinda varies per the mood? I like nonfiction for mindless tasks so I can feel like I'm doing something productive by learning something
Only fiction. I get enough non-fiction by living. And my IT specilization doesn't really translate into audio learning. I use different mediums for non-fiction like blogs/research papers/seminars/conferences/etc..
I love exploring new worlds and interesting characters be it fantasy/sci-fi or just general fiction. Also prefer series over standalone books.
Besides the advent of the world wide web, I've always supposed the proliferation of audiobooks and podcasts has had a fundamental link with the proliferation of traffic jams.
I've never been much of an audiobook listener. However, the few ones I've listened to I've enjoyed very much. Excellent narration, excellent voice acting. I used to play them while cooking, and then while eating what I had just cooked. Then if I was drinking wine with the food, the experience continued, extending into the horizons of my imagination.

Usually driving. Best place to listen without any other distractions

I mostly listen to them when I need to go for a walk, when I'm pushing my toddler on the swing, shopping or cleaning around the house.
