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

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.
