depends... if you're at home, then physical. If traveling, then e-book I'm at home all the time so I pick physical phone vs laptop
If it's a video podcast I usually end up doing other things while listening to it, so audio either way I guess Midnight vs daylight
daylight (I had to work night shift for a few years and that messed me up, so I have resentment for the night lol) headphones vs speakers
Over-ear headphones generally for quality and home use (unless you have some quality IEMs) Though in-ears are much more convenient for portable use Horror vs thriller
