Phrasal Verb (Get "Get around to)to" + infinitive/gerund?

I came across these sentences;

  1. I barely got around to listen to all of them lately.

  2. I didn't get around to posting on instagram.

The second sentence is correct since Get around to takes the prepositional phrase to doing, not infinitive verb to do.

Could someone please tell me why the first sentence useuses infinitive (listen) instead of gerund (listening)?
