You can change playback speed in podcast apps. Start listening at x1.3 speed and build up from there. In a couple of weeks you’ll find x2 speed to be comfortably comprehensible (and normal speed will seem annoyingly slow). If you’re at x2 speed and skip show intros and end of show plugs, then you’re done with a 60 min episode in about 25 min.
Every episode isn’t of interest and I skip boring episodes.
Podcasts are perfect to hear during housework, commute, when kids are running around in the park, gym, even during a shower or alongside simple video games. Combined with x2 speed, this means I can routinely get through about 3+ hours of episode time in a day (this is all time that I’m doing other tasks, so it’s not like I have to put time aside for podcast listening).
Do you ever not listen to podcasts? I can barely keep up to date with 2 or 3!
