One of mine doesn't pause the podcast. And when. You are listening at 2.8x you can miss a lot.

Damn, 2.8x. How high pitched is that?

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now highpitched at all. Any decent podcast player will automatically pitch shift the audio to make sure everyone sounds normal.

Interesting. Why do you speed it up? I've never sped anything I listened to up.

So you can listen to more content before the battery finally runs out.

Not OP, but I speed up YouTube all the time watching podcast-like content. If the content is all in the words or audio that's not music, speeding it up doesn't hurt quality, and it helps my ADHD brain stay on topic if they're wheel-spinning for a few seconds with some 'ums', or just rephrasing something.

Basically... It's a really good way to condense compatible kinds of entertainment, at least for me. Unless it's a topic I really have to mull over, the sped up info delivery is priceless.
