    I don’t listen to hour long podcast episodes

    Podcasts are a last bastion of mainstream web freedom.

    They’re great to pop in some earbuds and listen to while you’re cooking, cleaning or driving. I also put them on while going to bed cuz they don’t keep me up like videos or socials.

      yes, I’m well aware of that, but it still doesn’t change the fact that I just don’t listen to them - especially when an episode is an hour long.

            Are there any that have a skip annoying laughter feature (/s)

            Seriously tho that sort of thing seems like it would mess with the use of pauses for narrative effect

              Yeah, that’s one of the reasons I don’t use the feature :)

              I think many of them are adjustable in terms of how aggressive they are at cutting out silences.
