    I've listened to some code items while driving, and it's interesting. However, I can't learn. I can only get interested. I need to re-listen later in front of a computer where I can check things.

    I heard a great lamda expression podcast while driving back from the mountains, but when I got home, I couldn't quite explain to myself what this was. I had to re-listen, and code some at the keyboard. Not sure I still get it, but most coding items need practice.

    I guess it's sort of like listening to a cooking show on the radio. From the conversation, I can get a feel for whether or not my family and I would like a particular meal. Also, I get an overview of the ingrediants involved and cooking time, but I'll still refer to the website for step by step instructions (preferably a video) when attempting to actually cook it for the first time.
