I can't listen to spoken word while doing anything else, honestly, particularly things that require me to think. Listening requires a lot of attention, and if I'm not paying attention to it, then it's just annoying and distracting noise.
But I acknowledge that I'm in the minority in that audio is the worst way for me to absorb information and it takes a great deal of conscious effort overcome that problem.
