> The solution to a lot of those is to just have a goto show that you watch.
Cool! I have a list of movies to watch that I write from several recommendations sources, so I can try focus in watching instead of choosing. I can't say the same about music, I'm stuck for years hearing almost the same bands, which is kinda sad...

Another good point, watching something that I don't need to pay too much attention because I don't care about the subject, but can entertain me while I do other things... Here in Brazil that kind of shows that "we watch, we like but we don't know why" is a recurring joke, and we have three main ones: one about farming (Globo Rural), one about fishing (Pesca Alternativa) and one about trucks (Siga Bem Caminhoneiro)

I like SiriusXM for this. I'm often finding new channels to listen to, and once I pick a channel I don't have to pick out songs.
Apple Music has some features that can work similarly, such as radio stations (though a lot of theirs are really more like podcasts) or they have lots of playlists of recommended hits from different genres and you can shuffle them.

Are those public access type shows that are meant to be somewhat educational?
They are public access. Globo Rural for example is broadcasted every sunday morning. It's well produced, and its calm pace, its opening theme and the farming landscapes makes us feel good vibes. It fits perfectly the moment of waking up in the weekend, without having thinking about work and just chilling while we drink a coffee
