I'm mostly looking for something that will comb news sites and tech blogs an hour before I get up and make me curated daily commentary.

I like podcasts but if I'm switching off audio books, it's mostly because I'm having trouble concentrating. Music with a news tidbit every 15 minutes isn't as taxing, specially on the drive back, but makes it a lot more interesting then just music alone.

I primarily listen to podcasts when I'm driving, which isn't much as I work from home. Once I hit my "I need music" I am reminded how extremely happy I have been with SiriusXM for two decades. Octane, for example, is all music with occasional DJ chatting about something music related.

If I load up the app, they have "only music" stations which is just a straight up list of song after song after song.

Not an ad.. I genuinely love Sirius Octane! I have found so many new artists I would have never heard on FM radio.

Briefly acquainted with Sirius a ways back, the talk radio was the best part. I liked the one hosted by Nancy Sinatra, her insights into her own life and her dad's legacy were fascinating. There would be a decent block of his music, then a bit of commentary. Her voice is actually soothing, but not so much that you get sleepy at all. Craig Ferguson did a show on Sirius a while back, high quality rambling and light on the interview topics.

Ah, fair! For me, the switching between music and oration would be a bigger distraction than one or the other on their own.
