Podcasts are the closest thing there is to being a fly on the wall at someone else’s business, because people who actually know what is going on will go into it in substantial depth, far less guarded or filtered than they would be in e.g. a media interview.

It has a configurable (global and per show) playback speed and an adaptive setting which works like the thing most radio stations run (shortens silences so that they can run more ads).
