I don't listen to podcasts as I don't want to miss anything in them but I do use audiobooks. I only listen to audiobooks I've read before (normally a number of times) and my current go-to is the Honor Harrington series (It's my go-to for "I want to listen to something comfortable but I also want to be able to miss big chunks without caring since I know it all).
As for my "setup" I use my gooseneck flexible arm [0] that can hold my phone so that I can "direct" the phone towards my head/face. I used to just leave the phone on my side table so it could charge it but my phone can charge just about anywhere I am for more than a few minutes in my house so charging overnight isn't a necessity for me. Also when it was on the bedside I had to turn the volume up louder to hear it over the distance/fan noise, having it hovering a foot or two above my head give me great audio (or good enough for my purposes). I've been thinking for a while about getting a bluetooth speaker that I could mount above my headboard or something like that instead of using my phone but that has other downsides (inability to use "Hey Siri" or any microphone-based things on the phone while connected).
