I am curious as to where and when people listen to their Big Finish (or other) audios.
At home? At work? In the car? On your lunch break? Before bed?
Personally, I tend to listen in the car on the way to and from work. My commute is about 30 minutes each way so it often works out well when listening to titles with episodes in the 20-30 minute range. Sometimes I forget to start the audio when I first get in the car though... And spend a few minutes sitting in the parking lot when I get to my workplace just to get to a good stopping point in my listening adventures.

Generally I listen to a particular range in the car going to and from work (Dark Shadows and Survivors) and then I listen to anything else at work when I can (through headphones).
Cheers

At least 2 every other day at home, mainly in chronological order of Doctor but sometimes a whim takes me and its random. I'm finding also that, despite an increase in output I'm listening to more stuff on initial release date then I used to.

I'll often listen to one while I walk to work and finish it while I get the day started once I get to the office. My walk is roughly a half hour and as I'm at my desk by 4:30 and have the place to myself until 6:30, nobody complains.
When I'm at home I'll also listen - great for when I'm cleaning or when the cat wants to keep me trapped on the couch.
At Christmas I listen while I drive up north to visit my parents. The drive is 8 hours each way, so I make sure to load the iPod up with a good selection. Box sets are nice for the drive.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Mainly I listen to my "Doctor Who episode of the day" when I give my pets their dinner each evening. When I have to run errands is usually an opportunity for a bonus listen in the car. Other times I'll try for bonus listens while doing housework, but that tends to get interrupted a lot.

Not exactly daily, if you know the "Dupont" 28 day rotating 12-hour-shift schedule. But that's at least 182 days a year before overtime. |

In the car - only a short commute so only usually get through an episode a day in total. Will sometimes use the app to listen at home if other half is working.

When walking, cleaning, cooking, doing yard work that doesn't involve motors, weights exercise, and rarely, sitting around.

Before I fall asleep, and at work mainly on headphones though I think that you engage more than if there is external distraction

I usually listen at work but sometimes I will listen on a long walk or on my commute.

All the time, but mostly when I am not being disturbed!
So when I'm cooking, cleaning, walking, and especially when doing the gardening!
Also when I am trying too and failing to go to sleep!
These days I find myself doing something just to finish off something I am listening too.
Oh yeah, also when in the bath.....which ermmm I am doing now....!!!!

I have at least an hour commute to work, so I mostly listen on the way to and from work. I also listen anytime I'm driving somewhere in the car without a passenger, and when I'm doing stuff around the house that allows me to focus on an audio story while I work.
I mostly listen by putting the stories on my iPod and attaching a small portable speaker. I use earbuds or headphones if I'm listening at home and there are others around the house who don't want to hear what I'm listening to.
