Lots of people saying you can rewind a podcast if needed. I doubt this is it. I listen to podcasts at 1.25x or more and I almost never rewind

I could believe it's a difference between conversation and prepared remarks. But some podcasts are scripted and I speed those up too. Maybe it's just outdated or bad advice: https://twitter.com/patrickc/status/1212136739021545472?s=21 …https://twitter.com/patrickc/status/1212136739021545472 …

Average? I presume folks that 2X are not average

> 1x seems common. I do 1.25 to 1.5

Yes! I consider this advice officially falsified by experiment and have allowed myself to speed up over the years. (In practice, I suspect that clear elocution is the limiting factor.)

My guess: the average public speaker is nervous and rambly, so slowing down improves coherence, while the average podcast speaker is already coherent, so speeding up improves throughput.

Yeah there's a very big difference between skilled speakers being sped up and unskilled speakers talking so fast they're incomprehensible.

Public speakers slow down to maximize *their* impact on the listener. The listener speeds up the podcast to maximize the amount of information they consume. Because they can. And, the average informal podcast has more filler than a talk or lecture manicured from notes.
