    Nothing.
    I can only focus on 1 thing at a time and there’s already 20 of them at once at any time in my head.

    But I can listen to music. Although it depends on what it is. But not to worry, I can just listen to a single song on loop for hours non-stop.

    I like watching magicians do magic tricks while I drive, and trying to spot the technique.

    I’m just kidding don’t do that

    Might not be up your alley, but there’s a dude called “Just Background Noise” who does various Morrowind challenge runs. It’s neat stuff, but his name is quite accurate. Makes for some great background listening.

    Northernlion/The Library of Letourneau, he plays videogames and just kinda does a stream of consciousness thing that often has nothing to do with the game itself. It’s entertaining and he has a nice voice.

    I like the free Plex channels for Antiques Roadshow and BBC.

      It’s a fantastic podcast! But I feel like it’s kinda too good to have it in the background

    Lately I’ve been going through my favorite artists and listening to their music in chronological order.

    I hate the “pick something to listen to” phase of music listening, full albums let’s me control what im listening to while not needing me to maintain it.

    LabPadre’s 24/7 stream of SpaceX in Boca Chica. Sometimes watching concrete dry or debris removal is just what I need to take a step back.

        There are a lot of episodes on YouTube, on there official channel and on other channels. Plenty to keep me occupied for a while.

    i like listening to Lily Simpson videos when i’m doing chores and such. Her videos are often fairly long (meaning i don’t need to stop what i am doing to pick another video), easy to take in without having to actually watch with my eyeballs the whole time, and of consistently high quality.

      +1 for Josh, particularly the “was it good?” Series where he replays ancient titles start-to-finish while giving his thoughts about the game design.

      Love his stuff a bunch. I could listen to his voice all day. Great guy. :) btw, “3rd monitor, stay humble”

    Trackmania gameplay. It’s an arcade racing game, purely skill based, no story to follow. Players will play the same track multiple times until they get a good time, that way you don’t miss anything important if you look away for a while. Probably not gonna work for you if you’re not into the game though.

      trackmania has that in common with basically all speedrunning streams/content. super nice to have in the background since it can be repetitive and you can pay attention if they get a good run going :)

      and there are people who speedrun probably every game you’ve ever enjoyed, so there is plenty of options!
