There are some podcasts with great transcripts. Just send them to pocket and read on a Kobo - it cuts the time by at least half.
I've noticed that podcasts can be a great introduction to a topic, but generally I'd have to read about it to really learn anything.
On the other hand, most non-fictions book don't teach that much either. They seem to be little more than glorified blog posts geared towards the male market, while women seem to prefer fiction.
After 20 years of exclusively fiction I started reading some non-fiction to see what I'd missed. I thought the books would be like school books - just packed with facts about a certain topic. But turns out many of them are more like fiction "based on a true story". It reminds me of my mum who almost exclusively watches films based on true events, so that she can feel she's not wasting her time with made up stuff. Of course, the end product is as much fiction as Narnia is.
