For podcast/audiobook listeners that multitask, do you follow all of what's being discussed/said as you listen & do other stuff? (lemm.ee)

I've read a lot of people talk about doing this, and I kinda follow, but also: almost any time I've tried it ends up becoming background noise and I follow almost none of it. Are those of you that do this doing simpler tasks as you listen?

I feel like there were a number of studies on air traffic controllers and pilots involving task switching/multitasking/focus. May be a place to start looking at least. I don’t have any links to share atm though.
