Ugh yes. Podcasts are so low density for information per minute. No offence if that’s what you’re in the mood for and it can certainly fill a long commute / chore. Just really not my cup of tea.

I sort of hate podcasts. I don't want parasocial relationships. I don't want to hear in 30 minutes what I could have read in 3, with better options for following up (highlight -> search vs "what did they say? how do you spell that?")

Seriously.

Annoys me about a lot of youtube videos and documentaries as well.

They can be, or they can be very dense. It depends what you listen to. Many podcasts are just radio shows that actually do go out over the air, but are also repackaged as podcasts. For those, they tend to keep the information dense. The other kind are the stuff that could never be a radio show because it's just a few guys chatting for a few hours. But, IMO, those can be valuable too because it's not being rushed to fit in a certain time slot.
