You can listen to podcasts in the shower easily enough by putting your device outside of the shower, or having a waterproof Bluetooth speaker. It's not true that you can't do anything in the shower besides showering.
Listening to podcasts isn't really doing something.
The part of your brain that's like "you should be fixing the leaky faucet right now" will be quelled when you're in the shower because, I guess aside from consuming audio media, there really isn't much else you can do.
I think it was more that you CAN do nothing else, guilt free. If you are down are yourself because you're not efficiently multi-tasking during your shower, that might be a deeper issue.
