Sanity is overrated

I enjoy listening to your show, and I appreciate your concern, but sanity is overrated and should only be taken in moderation :)

Besides that, there can be a lot of benefits to speeding up podcasts.

After hearing this episode, I wrote an article on my own blog about getting a little more out of podcasts by speeding them up:

Faster... for your listening pleasure

I usually listen to all of the podcasts I subscribe to at 60% more than normal speed.

60% you say? That's pretty fast. I bet you get to listen to a lot more podcasts that way. I guess that many players have a way to increase it at least a little bit, and it's not uncommon for people to listen to audio books this way.

Great post by the way, it's short and to the point.

Thanks a bunch for the comment, we're glad you like the show, feel free to send us any other feedback you have, and thanks for dropping by!

Thanks for dropping in Ghodmode!

Sometimes I edit the show this way. Most of the editing process is just listening, so I speed it up a lot to get to the parts where I need to cut something or put something in. It's a real time saver.
