Same. I find music
does put me at risk of distraction, but audio books and podcasts are usually plenty chill enough to hear what's going on around me. Also, and a counterintuitive benefit, it probably save my life at least once when a ******bag in a pickup thought it'd be funny to buzz me while laying on his horn. I still think if I'd heard the full blast of that horn I'd have made some ill-advised move that would've hurt me.
