I think it should work pretty well for painting, especially since for the most part the visual isn't necessary at all, just adds some nice fluff. I would say in general we aren't exactly a fast-paced action packed group, partly due to being in three different states playing online, but also just due to the nature of the players and myself as the DM. I would say our goal is to provide a more narrative approach, so hopefully that lends itself to a little listen while hobbying. I've listened back to the three episodes so far while working and that works well for me.
