Then maybe the problem is you, not the presenter.

Have you ever listened to somebody who is "so passionate" about the subject they're teaching that it looks like they're putting themselves to sleep?

But yes the problem is also partially me. I have a lot of trouble focusing on people talking. Especially if it isn't a one-on-one conversation. I think it's an issue with mismatched speed of comprehension and presentation (it's also why I have trouble listening to podcasts and such)
