Why do you listen to all but a few of the podcasts at x1.5 or x2 speed? I know there's another person on here who does the same with audio books (can't remember who). Does it improve retention/enjoyment or does it simply allow you to get through more items quickly?
I find that I can follow pretty much all media (with the exception of a few things that require more careful consideration) at just under double-speed or faster. My mind just acclimates, so that if I do slow it down by accident, it sound like the speakers are talking in slow motion.
It doesn't effect my enjoyment or comprehension, and I can listen to twice as much in a year (and a lifetime).
