What do you watch/listen to while working?

There's always something playing in background while I work, it can be some food videos like Munchies documentaries (I love Matty Matheson, this series and this one about Vegas) or the Hot Ones, some docs from Vice, skate videos (I mean just look at this dude). Also I listen a lot of audio books: fantasy, science fiction, distopia..things like that.
