Genuine question, why not try different podcasts? There are a variety of subjects, and plenty that are current events/news related for niche communities. That doesn’t mix music between episodes, but let’s you find discussions on topics you’re interested in.
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.
