The new Sony MDR-1000X are slightly better at ANC and sound better to my ear than the QC35s and also come with a bunch of other features the Bose don't have like the ability to turn off ANC. That said, the QC35s are more comfortable.
For podcasts I think i'd pick Sony's (1000x) unless I routinely did 8+ hour flights and then I pick the bose. For me, I travel in the 3-6 hour range and mostly listen to music and movies/shows so I went with the B&W P7s which don't have noise cancelling since, with them, for the first time in 4 years I don't need it.
