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.

Have you tried listening to them at 1.5 or 2x speed?
Much easier to listen to.

Many podcast apps also have a “skip silences” feature.
I don’t use it, but I know others find utility in it.

Are there any that have a skip annoying laughter feature (/s)
Seriously tho that sort of thing seems like it would mess with use of pauses for narrative effect
