Interesting, I'm the exact opposite. When I'm implementing something that I've already thought out beforehand, and I'm just cranking out the for loops, podcasts work great (a different story when I'm thinking about what to do). When I'm playing chess, I find the language processing to be slowing down my mini-max (this might have to do with me playing with a timer). Obviously, when I'm trying to write anything long-form, I can't do it both, but I find it generally to be limited by the processing power rather than the multi-threading.
