There is one thing I seriously hate about the RPGs.
They use speech, so I cannot listen to a podcast while playing.

Unless you're in a part of the game that requires minimal attention, why would you listen to something other than the game?

You've got it in reverse. Podcasts are interesting, but they do require minimal attention most of the time. So, the gaps are perfectly filled with a game of the same complexity.
@LukeAlmighty @Jens_Rasmussen in my experience, podcasts go well with more manual activities like cooking, running/hiking, gardening etc.
with some types of games they go pretty well too (Dr. Mario), with others it's fine most of the time but sometimes I find myself pausing the podcast because I need to concentrate. it might depend on the type of the podcast too, if it's not very information-dense, I wouldn't mind missing a few sentences

The only times I listen or look at something other than the game I'm playing is during travel time, something semi-idle like a fishing minigame, or if I'm just waiting for time to pass in-game.
I might pause the game and look at something else, but then I'm not doing it at the same time as I am playing.
